I made these cupcakes for a friend's recent birthday party. A group of friends gathered at a local Japanese sushi/karaoke bar for a surprise celebration. The birthday girl's fiance asked me to create some "Hello Kitty" cupcakes for the event, and I was afraid my frustration level would be high if I tried to make the actual cupcake look like the famous pink bowed kitty. So, I opted to use cupcake aprons with a beautiful printed version of the character. I find it difficult to decorate with trademarked characters, because I expect the design to look exactly like the actual image. I can do a generic penguin or a generic dog cupcake, but I was very happy with the aprons that were wrapped around these carrot cake with cream-cheese icing treats. I admit that I ordered them from Etsy.com, but after seeing they were just printed on vellum paper, I figure I could try designing some of my own cupcake aprons in the near future.
