Hello Kitty.
Melissa won the raffle for a dozen decorated sugar cookies, and she chose a set of Hello Kitty cookies for her BFF’s birthday in Las Vegas.
Now, I don’t have a cutter or anything for these, so I carved the dough by hand to get as close to the shapes I needed. I think it turned out pretty well!
I also carefully drew freehand the characters. I held a picture in my left hand & attempted to recreate it with my right hand & a bag of black piping icing.
Melissa was very happy with the cookies, and of course, I included a special Thank-You cookie just for her, too:
I’ve heard that Hobby Lobby now carries a set of Wilton cutters for these shapes, but the location in town here doesn’t seem to have them. I intend to keep looking, as I suspect Hello Kitty will be a cookie I need to make again in the future!

I love the ones you did for your friend, too, but to free-hand these?! Wow! Now, that is impressive! You did an awesome job!
Thank you! I look at these & see all my uneven mistakes, of course, but they still look okay. I definitely learned some things. For example, I made the bow raised in HK’s hair the second time around, adding more dimension to her (I think).
