Hello Kitty Cupcakes for Birthday Dreams

It was a super busy week last week for me, I took on a little more then I should have.  My kitchen is still down but my bestie let me invade her house and my cupcake making mess.  I signed up for THREE cakes for Birthday Dreams (Charity bringing birthdays to homeless kids).  One cake I had was for a little girl who requested Hello Kitty.

I went on ebay and ordered a Hello Kitty Cookie Cutter and Hello Kitty cupcake liners. WELL both arrived hours after I had the cupcakes done and had to deliver them .. lol.  I had to go with plan B.

What you Need:

White Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)

Pink Modeling Chocolate (Candy Clay)

Black Gel

Circle Cutter

Triangle Cutter

Frosted Cupcakes

Bow Cutter

I found from watching the Food Network the Candy Clay I make is called Modeling Chocolate to many decorators.  Hmm go figure!  I made white Modeling Chocolate, I had pink left over from the Monster High Cupcakes.

Modeling Clay

12oz Candy Melts (In Pink and White)

1/4 Cup light corn Syrup

Melt your Candy Melts in microwave (mine takes about 2 minutes). Stir them to become smooth and add the corn syrup.  It will become thick and form a ball.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit out and dry.  Takes a few hours or over night is best. (Alexis note: I found to roll this out use a little powder sugar (like you would do with flour), also you have to kneed it a little like you would dough to make it easy to roll out).

For the kitty I rolled out the white modeling chocolate, with a circle cutter I made the face. For the ears I made triangles and pushed them onto the circle.  I used the pink modeling clay along with the bow from the Monster High Cookie Cutter (you can make a bow by hand if needed).  I marked out where the whiskers would go and used a little black gel to make them along with eyes and a nose.  Attached the bow with a little water.  

I topped these onto to frosted cupcakes!

Thanks for Stopping by!

Don't forget to see the parties I link up to HERE.

What is happening, here!

I must apologize for not coming around a lot, it has been super crazy here!  The remodel is in swing, we switched from the kitchen to the bedroom this week.  So all my bedroom moved to the living room, which then moved into my office. 

I'm happy to report the bedroom is almost complete, just a few pieces of molding left and the closet doors to be hung up and replacing the window that is now held up with duct tape .... kid kicking ball vs window so didn't fair well ... lol.

THEN I of course signed up for not ONE but THREE cakes this week for Birthday Dreams (bringing birthdays to homeless kids).  I love bringing smiles to these kids.  But 3 cakes while my kitchen is under remodel was trying and I had to head to my besties to use her kitchen.

Hope you all have a fab weekend, I hope to be back to stopping by in the next week or so.
