How to Make a Hello Kitty Out of Fondant

Transforming fondant into whimsical Hello Kitty figurines is not only fun but also allows you to express your creativity through edible art. Whether you're a skilled cake decorator or a beginner, here's a step-by-step guide to create a delightful Hello Kitty out of fondant.

Before you start, ensure you have all the necessary materials and tools. You'll need ready-made fondant, fondant rolling pin and mat, fondant sculpting tools (like a Wilton ball tool, fondant knife, and fondant cutter), edible.member marks, sharp scissors (for cutting letters and shapes), a paintbrush, and a little bit of corn syrup or piping gel for sticking pieces together.

Creating Hello Kitty's Body and Ears

Hello Kitty's signature round body and ears are the main structure of this delightful figurine. Start by coloring your fondant pink for Hello Kitty's body.

Role out the fondant to about ¼" thickness. Use the fondant cutter or a glass to cut out two identical circles for her body. For the ears, roll out some white fondant and cut out smaller circles. Use a smaller cutter or the Wilton ball tool to create the inner ear shapes.

Attaching Ears and Body

To attach the ears to the head, apply a tiny amount of corn syrup or piping gel on the backside of each ear, then stick them onto the top of Hello Kitty's head. Let them dry for a while before continuing to the next step.

Using a small paintbrush, add some white fondant to create Hello Kitty's facial features. Use some edible markers for the details, such as her red cheeks and black round nose and mouth.

Creating Hello Kitty's Bow

After you've created Hello Kitty's face, it's time to add her iconic red bow. Start by rolling out some red fondant, then cut out a bow shape. Using scissors, cut saw-tooth edges on both ends of the bow. Attach the bow carefully on her head.

Don't forget to add her signature bow details with some black fondant or edible markers.

Creating Hello Kitty's Hair and Ribbon

Hello Kitty's hair can be easily made by rolling out a log of white fondant, then cutting it into small pieces. Arrange these pieces around her face to resemble her hair.

For her ribbon detail, roll out some red fondant and cut out small heart shapes that you'll place on her shoulder.

Adding Details and Accessories

To enhance your Hello Kitty figurine, you can add more details like a pretty dress and heart-shaped pendant. Use fondant in the desired color and use cookie cutters, then attach them with some corn syrup or piping gel.

If desired, brush some edible shimmer powder to give Hello Kitty a bit of shine.

Final Touches

Position Hello Kitty correctly, making sure everything is attached well and symmetrical. Place her in a cool area to allow everything to harden. Your delightful Hello Kitty figurine is now ready to brighten up any celebration or simply decorate your kitchen counter!
