Here Kitty, Kitty!
It’s my cake pops, Hello-Kitty style. Back in December, I made a little Hello Kitty cake for my niece’s 1st Birthday and as I was shaping the Hello Kitty figure out of fondant, it occurred to me how screaming cute these would be as cake pops. I couldn’t wait to try them. But, how the heck would I make those distinctive, yet subtle little ears. Well, the answer is easier than you think.
Here’s what you will need:
Cake and frosting (Read basic Cake Pop How-To)
Mini Red m&ms
White candy melts
Jumbo Heart Sprinkles
Rainbow Chip Sprinkles
Black Edible Ink Pen
Paper Lollipop Sticks
Styrofoam Block
White Chocolate Chips
(Whoops…I left the most important ingredient out of the above picture.)
But, take a look below and you can see how perfectly they work for the ears.
- Shape the Hello Kitty heads into a semi-flat oval shape. Insert tip of lollipop stick into some of the melted candy and insert into the bottom of the Hello Kitty head.
- Take two white chocolate chips and dip the bottoms in the melted candy and then place/glue them on the top of Hello Kitty head.
- Stand them up in a styrofoam block to dry. When the ears are firmly attached to the head, dip the entire Hello Kitty head in a bowl of the white melted candy. Make sure the bowl is deep enough so you can get it in one dunk. Then remove and gently tap off any extra coating. This will help smooth it out, too.
- When the Hello Kitty heads are dry, apply the hearts and m&ms to make a bow and the yellow rainbow chips to make a nose. You can use a toothpick and a little bit of the melted candy to act as the glue.
- Then, draw the eyes and whiskers on using an black edible ink pen
.
And, enjoy!

Love these so cute! Easy to make too. They look so complicated, but they are not!

You’ve been photo robbed!
I need your help. I made these and had trouble with two things.
1st – I used the Merkens Super White Candy Coating and it’s always so thick so I thinned it with paramount crystals. I wish I hadn’t because after I dipped the cake pop and allowed to excess to drip off, the coating pulled down from the ears(white chocolate chips) and did not cover like yours. I ended up dipping the pops 3 times to get mine to come out like yours. Was my coating too thin? I actually painted around the morsels to blend them better before dipping.
2nd – I use the Americolor pens but always have trouble. They start off okay and then they don’t want to write. I wipe the tip on paper towel in case there is residue from the coating, but that hasn’t helped either. When I tried to go back over the eyes to darken them like yours, the pen was actually pulling the color off. I tried to chill them and then start again but that didn’t work either. The pen is fairly new and not used too much yet. Any suggestions why I’m having such a hard time with it writing on the coating?
I love how simply it is to make this. i will try tonight : )
BAKERELLA;……………
You ROCK!!!
I am a fan of hello kitty
I love this tutorial. I’m going to make these for my lovely niece’s 3 year birthday. The only problem is that amazon won’t let me buy the white chocolate chips (they don’t ship to my country) and we don’t have those around here (not in chip for anyway)… Is there anything i can replace them with? fondant? Marzipan? I haven’t seen any cake decorations that fits the shape…
Wonder if you know bout this … check out http://www.thecookinghouse.com/ (scroll down)

I can never get my edible pens to write on the candy coating. Any special ones you use?
The pen did not write for me either and the heads start to fall off and don’t get coated well… I am guessing I am going to have to trash these because they look terrible!!! Party is tomorrow so going to make regular ones… any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi, i was wondering were i can find the rainbow chip sprinkles and the jumbo hearts. ive been looking all over and i can not seem to find themm any help will do thanks. :]
I see people are having a hard time with these. My pens don’t write. My chocolates too thick. They don’t coat. They falling off. I’m following the instructions perfectly and nothing is right. I don’t see responses to those having difficulties. Please help! My party isin November so I have plenty of time to perfect this. But not too much time…
i will like to buy two dozens of the hello kitty cake pops were i can order thanks
Just too good…a task at hand and for a first timer…you make it so simple…thanks a ton!!!
Can’t wait to make these for my daughter’s 4th Birthday party! She wants a Hello Kitty theme and I remembered seeing these before. She’s super excited! :) I really hope they turn out as cute as yours!
Hi I wanted to know how long will these cake pops stay fresh? How far in advance can I prepare these cake pops?
So being an Aussie, I assumed white candy melts meant white chocolate – am I wrong? Mine worked well but were more a creamy colour. How did you get them so white?

Is this your own original hello kitty cake pops photo.. I saw in another website that some one else also used it.. Just curious..
I made these with red velvet for valentine’s day and they were a hit! I also had trouble with the pens, so I melted semisweet chocolate and used a toothpick to draw on the eyes and whiskers. Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial!
Meet you via Manu’s Menu, I pinned your post in my board! Thank you for sharing with us your creativity! DanielaC.
These are aweseome! How many days ahead do you think you can make them? Can you store them in the fridge?
I am baking my pops now! lol I cannot wait for them to come out of the oven and cool… I really hope they turn out good. This is my practice run for a little 9 year olds Birthday party!

Tried these out today, immense! They took 6 hours from start to finish, for 25. Was it worth it? By the outcome of the pops, no :( I’d love to know how you get you candy so smooth? Mine suffered from lumps and bumps. Also the editable pen I bought wasn’t compatible with the candy melts, apparently americolor are the ones to go for. Just waiting for mine to arrive in the post, I originally tried a rainbow dust pen and it was a waste of time. Looking forward to finishing the kitty’s off and serving in the party bags at my 3 year olds party this weekend. Good luck to all who try this cake pop art, it definitely is an art. xx
cute!
