Hello Kitty French Macaron and a Giveaway


Hello Kitty French Macaron and a Giveaway  http://uTry.it

Hello, to all Hello Kitty fans out there!  Yes, this post is all about the adorable Hello Kitty, again.  My Little Girl is a super fan.  She has over 10 Hello Kitty plush toys, big and small, along with dresses, slippers, utensils, hair clips, stationaries, etc.  My Hubby and I would get a little plush toy for her, whenever we traveled to different city, or country.  This particular one was from, France, of course.  I think she’s the perfect company to these cute Hello Kitty French Macarons!

My Baby Girl loves these macarons so much.  She thinks they are almost too cute to eat, almost!  I made these macarons in the morning and I purposely left a few without any decoration and let My Girl decorate her own after school.  She had so much fun!

I’m sure you’ve seen me made all kinds of different macarons, with various flavors and shapes (such as these, these, these and these).  These Hello Kitty are one of the most adorable ones I’ve made.  And they are inspired by The Hello Kitty Baking Book (see picture below), by Michele Chen Chock.  Michele is the author of the I Heart Baking blog, which I love and personally followed for quite some time.  She always share her whimsical cakes and cupcakes decorations on her blog.  If you haven’t done it yet, you should go check out her blog.

One great thing about this book is that you don’t necessarily have to get the Hello Kitty character molds or cutters to made these adorable treats.  Michele would show you step by step in how to create these cuties with just a few basic baking and decorating tools.  But if you’re a Hello Kitty fan, or have a fan in the family, I’m sure you might already got some Hello Kitty kitchen tools around the kitchen.

Another reason why I love this book is that you get 'options' with one recipe.  For instant, you can prepare this Ombre cake (see picture below) by baking the batter in a large cake pan cake; or into adorable cupcakes, or make both, whichever fits your needs.

Halloween is coming up and these Jack-O-Lantern Spice cookies are just perfect for the occasion.  In this book, not only you’ll find recipes for cookies, cupcakes, but also pies, cake pops and many many more.

Just a side note: before I decorate the Hello Kitty Macarons, my Hubby thought I was making piggy macarons!  So, I decorated a few with piggy faces.  I guess they do work as piggy, too.  But next time I’ll make pink ones instead.
