Athena requested for a Hello Kitty cake from me.
Baked the cake on Wednesday night *yawn*, cut and crumbcoat. (goash! I'm still so bad with crumbcoating. I've got a freckled-face Kitty.)
Thursday : (Shichida's term break, so I have free time in the afternoon. Skipped Aricia's home practice) - added another layer of buttercream which are the extras from our last week's bake session. Piped outline and ... so lazy to use and wash (though I leave the washing to KZ) another piping tip and coupler, I use butter knife to spread the nose and ribbon colours. Can't seem to get the nice smooth-looking top layer the pros do. Is it skill or patience one need?

Wow.. I'm so impressed with myself. Let's hope my cake ends up with this shape
)
Thursday night : I think everyone's getting a little bored. Baking every month, we get tired of singing the birthday song month after month. Neighbours might think we're mad. Honestly, I wonder if I can continue with this a few months to come.
But Athena thinks otherwise, she's happy when she's the star of the night

Thursday - rushed through work coz' I forgot Athena has Berries class. Finally all coloured and *pai-pai pi gu and rush out of the house*
I couldn't find licorice to make the whiskers (anyway it tastes horrible), so I used Pocky sticks instead. I finished the rest of the pack in the night *fat*
