Yep. You read that right. A Hello Kitty Party with all the Thanksgiving trimmings. That's what our daughter requested for her birthday. It's not every day you'll get a request like that and I had a lot of fun with it! There were plenty of ideas on-line including this plush Hello Kitty that turned into a turkey:
While I didn't purchase the cooked kitty, I did get quite a kick out of it. They even had a Kitty that turned into a hamburger!
I also enjoyed making Hello Kitty cupcakes with molded chocolate. I told my oldest daughter it was glorified play-dough. Only it tastes amazing! I'm not a fan of fondant. Bleh! However, this stuff is delicious and easy enough to work with.
I think they turned out pretty cute. I made the bows by squishing them in the middle like so...
Then I used a chopstick to make an indentation on both sides...
and pushed towards the middle to make a bow shape
I also just used a knife and scored it until I thought it looked cute:
The eyes and nose were just squished balls/ovals and the whiskers were thin sections of "snakes" I rolled out.
I'm telling you it was glorified play-dough!
Since my daughter wanted a "Thanksgiving" Hello Kitty party. It was only fitting that the cupcakes were pumpkin flavored. They were delicious and moist.
I also had some fun with food. Our mashed potatoes even looked Hello Kitty:
I used a sharpie. Our black one was dead, so I opted to use pink. And it all wiped right off using my nail polish remover trick. Although, I don't think I'd have used nail polish remover on the inside of a bowl. If you like the idea, but aren't fond of having to use a sharpie on your bowl, then you can use icing to draw the face. The website that I got the idea from seemed to have done just that. They made a fruit salad, so you definitely can use this with more than just potatoes. In fact, I put rolls in another "Hello Kitty" bowl.
While all the food was cooking, the girls and I made some Hello Kitty shirts. I'll share how we did it in another post.
