After frosting your cupcakes with white buttercream or dehydrated marshmallow fondant, use the back of a spoon or a silicon frosting tool to create Hello Kitty's nose and cheeks. Use red fondant or buttercream to create her cherry bow. To create her eyes and whiskers, use edible markers or black fondant.

Swirl and Snout

Why not play with the classic design a little? Create a fun swirl pattern in the frosting using a buttercream piping bag and a large round tip. Then, place Hello Kitty's face at the top, giving her a cute little snout peeking through the swirl. This adds a touch of whimsy while keeping the design recognizable.
