Chef's Note & Story

Note: Icing frosting should be added after baking; toppings can be added while icing is still soft.

*I could not find a Hello Kitty cookie cutter so I made my own by using a soft copper gingerbread man from Michael's and re-shaped the cutter into a cat face. Cutter is $1.00 and change.
Easy to make.
