Hello Kitty Cookies

I have 3 nieces.  They are so sweet and fun and precious! I only wished they lived closer to me.  It's funny because they used to be my "birth control" as people say.  BUT the older I get, and the more settled I get, they have turned into a trigger for my "baby fever."  Look at how precious!

Last weekend was a family birthday party for Olivia and Sage since they are both born in April.  Olivia is 12 and Sage is 2! Time flies!  Of course, I sent presents to the party since I couldn't be there, but I felt bad to leave out the middle sister Autumn.  She is at that age where she loves characters, so I decided to make her some cookies of her favorite at the moment!

For these cookies, I used my Kopykake projector to get the outline.  I used the Wilton set of cutters for the shapes, and the cardboard backing in the KK.  I am slightly a hoarder in that I keep all those little cardboard backs that come with Wilton sets.  I like to have them to look back at if I especially liked the design cookies, or if I think the shape would be useful (like Hello Kitty).  I cut the cardboard to make it fit in the KK, and got to work.  I didn't flood these since I wanted the outline to be up to the edge.  I simply piped the Hello Kitty outline with the aid of my KK (she needs a name, don't you think).  After this was pretty set, I flooded the sections progressively with thick flood icing (15 second). 

I really like the way that these came out and by the looks of it, the kids liked them too!  It was so nice of Auty-boo to share at the party!
