As a kid whenever we took our yearly summer trip to visit my grandparents in San Francisco, I loved going to the Sanrio store in Japantown. That was better than visiting a candy store! They had the cutest things and my favorite... Hello Kitty!

Back then it was harder to find Hello Kitty items but now you can pretty much find her in most stores. Obviously I've outgrown that phase a long time ago but of course my daughter is into it now. I passed along many of my "vintage Hello Kitty" items to her. She even told me she wants a Hello Kitty birthday party. I guess she forgot that I threw her one when she turned one.
Who was your favorite childhood character?
Eva
Aww..I was enamored with Hello Kitty when I was a kid. Those pencils and erasers and notepads... Now, my kids love them, too.
ReplyDeleteYes I had all of those too Asianmommy! They have so many cute Hello Kitty stuff now.
DeleteThat is a really cute cake! I don't think I had a favorite character when I was little.
ReplyDeleteThanks MommyMandi! I had fun making it :D
DeleteYou're so talented, Eva! Most ppl's character cakes look nothing like the character, but yours are spot-on! Imagine if you started a cake making business :O! Anywho, I loved Sanrio too and love visiting the stores in Chinatown. I loved the duck, whatever his name was ;). And Garfield too!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Lisa! Sure would love to but it would be more pressure...baking, decorating and delivering the cake in one piece AH!
DeleteIt's Pekkle!!!! Ah yes, I remember you liked Garfield.
