Hello, Kitty?
July 16, 2009 Hello Kitty is the epitome of all things cute, to an almost nauseating degree:
However, put her in the hands of these bakers and she becomes a puff-faced gerbil with a glandular problem:
This next one is deceptively nice, other than the RSS-icon hair bow...
...but then you realize that massive domed face is ALL icing, slathered onto a...a....[swallowing] CUPCAKE CAKE!! [blood-curdling scream]
I think this next baker tried to make a Hello Kitty vampire, but since HK has no mouth it turned out a little...odd.
Transplanted walrus tusks, or dangling fingers? I suppose either works on the cracked black background. Oh, and maybe this is just me, but I find that a vampire who waves totally loses all "cool" credibility. Seriously. Can you picture Dracula waving? Of course not. It's just not dignified.
Now, if you want a creepy Hello Kitty done right, you do what Bonefinder did:
Zombie Hello Kitty - excellent!And lastly, Julie M. found out the hard way that her local bakery either has no idea who Hello Kitty is, or believes she is Porky Pig's sister:
Yes, that's really supposed to be Hello Kitty. Wow.Answer: Something that horrifies every Star Wars fan in existence:
Everyone can relax; it's Photoshopped. For legitimate HK insanity, though, check out Hello Kitty Hell. It's funny stuff, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a lot of the stuff on there is adorable. (Look at these water bottles and tell me they're not just the cutest - go on.)

I love Hello Kitty, and I keep HK Hell bookmarked. :D
I want that zombie cake. Om nom nom!
WV: diflught. Much to my diflught, this is a hilarious post!
I actually backed up from my computer when I scrolled down to the first one. Wow-za.
Blessings,

I have also seen Darth Kitty (Hello Vadar?) at Comic-Con. That's the real deal.
Not sure about those water bottles, Jen. On the other hand, I sort of dig the Vader costume. (Interestingly, I think it would be awesome in cake form.)
As a high school student I am surrounded by girls who are still obsessed with Hello Kitty! I have never seen anything in Hello Kitty, but now it is totaly rediculous! These 17 year olds need to get a life!
Also, how hard can it be to make a hello kitty cake?! Use a circle pan, and unless you are very much lacking in the skills department, you really can't screw up!
Zombie Kitty, Rocks!!
Water bottles, Rock!!!
The rest of them, what the heck happened?! Awful!
Couldn't they have photoshopped a bow on the corner of the helmet?
yes hello kitty, epitome of nauseating!
I love pig kitty!

I'm lovin the HK darth vader! good stuff, good stuff.
I know there are several horse people that read here...well, not that you need to be a horse person, but scarey/funny experience for me the other night. Read it on my blog: www.freewebs.com/spottedtridingblog/ridingblogjul2009.htm
I am totally in LOVE with Zombie Hello Kitty. So my style, and not wrecky at all.
Love the zombie Hello Kitty! Very nicely done, and funny.
I always knew Bonefinder was awesome.
Now I have proof.
Am I the only one that thinks the vampire fangs look like tampons?
Gotta get me one of those Hello Kitty Tasers. They are truly the BOMB.
I think we should have a Sunday Sweets Hello Kitty edition. :)
I nearly wet myself over the gerbil. Hilarious! Though I must say, the zombie Kitty is pretty good for what it is!
Why would anyone want a dead HK? or a vampire one? just to make "dark" an absolutely cute cartoon? *head-desk*
I've never been fond of hello kitty, this just gives me further ammunition.
Cheers
haha! I love Zombie Kitty!
I am *so* disappointed to realise that Hello Vader is a 'shop job.
Damn you!
I had a Hello Kitty cake done for my graduation. I think it turned out alright:

omg poor hello kitty grew fangs. ouch.
Too funny!
OMG--you would think that Hello Kitty would be one of the easier things to put on a cake. Guess not! :)
I've got to say, zombie Hello Kitty was very well done. The CCCs on the other hand were extraordinarily frightening. I almost went into diabetic shock just looking at the icing dome on that second cake. I think my favorite from the Hello Kitty Hell website was the taser...
I am of the opinion that the "fanged" Hello Kitty is actually sporting insect-like mandibles. :D
I am TOTALLY digging that Hello Kitty zombie! YEAH!
The HK Darth Vader had me rolling...too bad it's not real! I know a fellow Star Wars geek (I say fellow, as I proudly identify myself as such) who would be mortified.
I digress.
As for those other cakes, well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at those too! Poor, poor Cake Wreckers.
WV: ciessec ~ the birthing procedure utilized for the previous entry's baby shower cakes
Wow.
A pink Vader. Not sure how I feel about that one. . .

As one who works in a bakery. I can't tell you how many people order those gosh-awful cupcake cakes and are SURPRISED that it doesn't look like a true Hello Kitty, Onesie, or Tiara.
Them: "It looks like a bunch of cupcakes covered with frosting!!!"
Me (thinking): "No!!! Really??? Very smart Capt. Obvious!"
I (and the rest of cake decorators) HATE CUPCAKE CAKES!!
If Hello Kitty and Kermit the Frog had a baby, it would look like Zombie Hello Kitty.
i love Hello Kitty to death...but i do not love those cakes.
and Hello Kitty Hell...i understand my love for Hello Kitty...but that man suffers so.
Thank you for sending me into the neverending vortex of terror that is kittyhell.com
OMG! They are awful! At least none of them are hello kitty wedding cakes.
haha, oh my! the CCC makes me go into sugar shock... I thought it was fondant at first glance. Also, i was staring at the vader w/o reading the blurb tyring to wrack my brain... I know i didn't see him at a celebration, but so would have taken a pic if I had...
Why? Why would you do that to me? And my niece was right here too. "Auntie, is that supposed to be hello kitty?!" It was like explaining, "no your Uncle wasn't trying to suffocate me in the bedroom", all over again. Very traumatic post.
Aw Crap! I am literally snorting; I'm laughing so hard!!!
WV: panstt - Any full grown adult with a Hello Kitty fixation should be panstt!
The CCC makes me crave a Hostess Sno Ball. o.O
Love the zombie Hello Kitty
Vampire Hello Kitty: I totally saw a 'wise old man' mustache. Dripping blood. Which kind of makes me want an 'evil but wise old man' Hello Kitty cake... if t'were done properly.
I think someone should go out and order 'hello kitty/Darth Vader' cakes, I seriously want to see that in cake. cheers
Did you see this cake? http://www.kittyhell.com/2009/01/06/hello-kitty-death-cake/
Besides not knowing what Hello Kitty even looks like, that wrecktator didn't even put a regular kitty's nose on right side up! LOL
What do you mean "almost"? Hello Kitty is utterly sickening. How come we never see her (it?) sideways.
The only thing worse than Hello Kitty, beyond that stupid Vampire love story thing..."Twilight"? Is Pikachu.
Hello Kitty and vampire do not mix. No worky. Why didn't they use Chococat for that?
I have the sneaking suspicion that they did this cake for a goth girl, too. no, don't laugh, I'm serious. There's a... thing going on with goths and HK. I don't know. I'm just a crusty old bat. kids these days. get off my lawn.
lol
Did you see the Hello Kitty wedding cake on the Hello Kitty Hell website??? No? Well, here's a link - http://www.kittyhell.com/2008/01/12/hello-kitty-wedding-cake/
Imagine the poor schnook who married the HK bridezilla. I bet he has to sit on a HK toilet seat and eat HK cereal out of a HK bowl. I'll give it 1 year before he presents her with HK divorce papers.
That angry hello kitty came out incredible. These are good examples of variations in cake design. I thought the star wars was the most disturbing of the bunch though. ;-)
Darth Kitty isn't photoshopped -- it's real. I've seen it in person at a convention.
Hello Vader may not have been real at the time that photo was taken, but THIS one is: http://www.saratrice.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=8848" rel="nofollow">http://www.saratrice.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=8848 - I know because I took the photo. It was at Dragon*Con 2007.
While that particular Darth Vader Hello Kitty may be photoshopped, I have seen an actual Darth Vader Hello Kitty costume at Dragon*Con. It looked about like that photo.
I think I got a shot of it, too; don't remember.
