Everyone around me is going Hello Kitty crazy! Not that I mind.... at all, being a huge fan of Hello Kitty myself.
This customer (a 4 year old little girl) wanted Hello Kitty strawberry cupcakes to take to her friends at school and a Disney princess cake for her birthday party. I've mentioned before that little girls always make me nervous because they know exactly what they want and the expectations are high. So I was relieved when this little girl loved her cupcakes and cake.

Neither the shop where I get my baking supplies, nor my local grocery store had strawberry essence and so I experimented with strawberry jam for the icing. Instead of adding milk and vanilla essence to the buttercream I added smooth strawberry jam until the icing was the consistency I wanted. It worked perfectly and tasted much better than strawberry essence!

I thoroughly enjoyed making this cake, but I think I'll stick to cupcakes!
Happy baking!
