Hello Kitty Cake (My Second Cake)

So after my test run two weeks ago, I made a cake on my own for a friend's birthday. I was going to go with a pretty two tiered one then I learned that she loves Hello Kitty. Luckily, I have this Hello Kitty cake pan from Michael's.

I screwed up the first time because I thought perhaps you need more than 1 box of cake mix to fill the pan. What happened inside my oven was not pleasant. >_< Luckily the second time it came out perfectly. Tip: Oil the pan like mad, particularly Kitty's face!!

Completed one looked like this:

I should probably mention that my inspiration came from here. Theirs looked better. >_< But my eyes and nose were 3D, not flat. LOL Accidentally "glued" the eyes too high up and too close together. *Sighs* But using Pocky as whiskers were ingenious!!
