I must confess that I am a major Hello Kitty fanatic. To anyone that already knows me, this is not a secret by any means. But...I just love her. I don't know what it is about that cute simple face with no mouth, but I adore it on anything from a duffel bag to....whatever you can imagine! Any possible product you can imagine, there is probably a Hello Kitty version of it. Don't believe me? Then check out this website - on SECOND THOUGHT, omg, I'll pass on posting it for now. There was some Hello Kitty drug paraphanalia that came up first on the list! No, no, no, I like my Hello Kitty harmless. Excuse me while I laugh at myself. I was just thinking to myself before I went to check the link, "I've seen military tanks, I've seen Hello Kitty rifles, I would hate to see some illegal Hello Kitty type products" and bam, there's a cocaine straw!
Some argue that Hello Kitty actually is a bad role model because she has no mouth. This is supposed to symbolize that girls should remain quiet and passive. While I did find that interesting when I read it, I just don't know. I don't think she would be as cute if she had a mouth. If anything, I always liked the fact that Hello Kitty doesn't force her emotions on anyone. For all I know, she could be happy, sad, pissed off. Damn, if she only had eyebrows! Now it is just a mystery forever...though I am assuming that when she's a ballerina, schoolgirl, rocker, or dolphin trainer that she's pretty happy. One would think at least. I don't know if she's happy when her hot face is toasted onto my bread, but I sure am!
So, to combine my love of cupcakes and Hello Kitty, I attempted to make these cupcakes. They were a pain in the butt and not nearly like I wanted them to turn out, but I think they still came out cute. And to throw in an extra one, I made an American flag with cupcakes to celebrate one of my coworkers becoming a U.S. citizen. Yum!
