What gorgeous cakes to make two little girls happy. I think you did a fantastic job icing and decorating and they both look fab. I've done that while little stars lark when I was first starting out in decorating cakes. I made a Superman one for my hubby, my arm almost fell off. <br />As a young girl, I LOVED Hello Kitty and bought all the pencils and little girlie things. My girls didn't like get as much as I did. Did you hear that she's sctually supposed to be a little English girl and not a cat? :) I was confused too.

Once when I was supposed to make a Barbie cake, I saw all the piping that was required for her dress and ended up using marzipan instead so she had a flowing cream-colored gown with fantastic folds. I decorated the "fabric" with silver dragées.

That is so nice of you.<br />I agree with what you said about making "cute" confections but making them with delicious ingredients. I have always said this about Christmas cookies, for example. "There are two kinds of cookies, the cute ones and the ones that taste good." <br />Looks like it was so much fun to make two darling little girls smile!
