It’s my cake pops, Hello-Kitty style. Back in December, I made a little Hello Kitty cake [2] 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 [5])
Mini Red m&ms
White candy melts [6]
Jumbo Heart Sprinkles [7]
Rainbow Chip Sprinkles [8]
Black Edible Ink Pen [9]
Paper Lollipop Sticks [10]
Styrofoam Block [11]
White Chocolate Chips [12]
(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.
And, enjoy!
