About this Hello Kitty with a birthday cake coloring page
A three tier cake covered in piped hearts, three candles on top, balloons rising on one side and a banner overhead. The piping on the tiers is fine work.
How to color Hello Kitty with a birthday cake
- three pinks Colour each tier in a slightly different shade of the same colour.
- Leave the piped hearts and scallops white so the icing reads as icing.
- warm yellow Colour the candle flames yellow and the balloons in three brights.
Pipe the icing in a colour close to the cake itself. Piping in a clashing shade turns the pattern into stripes and loses the sugar.
Things to know about Hello Kitty with a birthday cake
- Piped icing became possible in the 1840s with the invention of the piping bag, before which cakes were decorated by hand with a knife.
- A tiered cake needs internal supports; without them the upper layers sink into the lower ones within hours.
Should I leave the icing white?
The piped parts, yes. Leaving the scallops and hearts as paper is what makes them read as icing on top of the cake rather than a pattern printed on it.
