Made this 10" Hello Kitty Cake for a young lady that was a HUGE Hello Kitty fan and turned 12 back in August 2011! Vanilla cake, with buttercream frosting covered in fondant with a handmade fondant Hello Kitty. This cake was one of the first times where I used ganache under the fondant and now I am hooked, now I use ganache all the time under my fondant. I’ve gotten better at getting the ganache nice, smooth, even with the sharper edges, still working on trying to perfect it!!!

There was a little dome on top of the cake (as you can see) where there was air under the fondant. I tried to make sure I had smooth it all out but somehow the air bubble was still there. I took a pin and stuck a tiny hole under the number 1 so it couldn’t be seen and I was able to let the air out! :-)
