Sienna and her Hello Kitty birthday cake

This is the Hello Kitty cake that I made Sienna for her 3rd birthday. I just carved it out, frosted it and added jelly beans and licorice for the details. I think it turned out cute...and my kids loved it:)

We made these cupcakes for playgroup the following day. They are vanilla with chocolate fudge frosting. I let the kids add the m & m's on top. They were yummy!
