Hello Kitty Cupcakes!

All of a sudden I feel like the gayest gay that ever gayed!

I made 24 "Hello Kitty" cupcakes to take along to the Saturday night farewell party for my friends Spyder & Gordy, who depart for Melbourne in a few week's time. I used the same recipe as last time, but took it up a few notches with pink, yellow and green pastel icing, star sprinkles, and the piece de resistance - soft sparkly "Hello Kitty" sweeties.



Hello Kitty Cupcakes!



These "Hello Kitty" sweeties were a real find. Remember the bizzaro Death Adder sweeties from last year? Yup, same same! These ones I bought from a different store, the cake decorating place Iced Affair in Camperdown. Like the death adders last year, they just came in a plain bag labelled product of Vietnam. Curious, non?

These went down a treat. The platter didn't even make it to the table before it was two thirds empty! Ever seen seagulls descend on some discarded chips? Trust me. Not. Dissimilar.

Does this cupcake make me look gay?

But seriously, please please what's your icing recipe?

Hi. My name is Michael Guy and I have 'cupcake envy.'

You had me at 'hello kitty.'

These cupcakes are so gay they can be seen from the planet Gay-topolis without using a gaytron. Which is fag-speak for a special imaging device used to measure radiant gay-O-topes.

LURVE your icing skills and attention to details! Someday I want to shove one of your cupcakes in my mouth.

Thanks everyone! I sort of out-gayed myself on this one really. I am now completely and thoroughly emasculated. :)

Kenyo, I'll have to check the recipe for the exact quantities but it was a simple butter/icing sugar/vanilla/milk frosting. I'll check it out tonight when I'm home and post it as a comment tomorrow.
