    Instructions

    Hello Kitty Corn and Chicken Sandwiches

    • Mix together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
    • In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a whisk. Add the corn, honey and milk and mix well until the honey dissolves. Add this to the dry mixture, then pour in the melted butter.
    • Mix everything together, and pour into a buttered Hello Kitty muffin tray. Bake these in the oven at 350F for 17-18 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pan, and then turn them out once they’ve fully cooled.
    • To assemble the sandwiches, slice the buns in half, and layer the lettuce, tomato and chicken inside, then spread on some mayonnaise. Top with the remaining half of the bun, and secure with a toothpick. I tied some gingham ribbon to the toothpick to make them look like Hello Kitty’s bow.

    Hello Kitty Caprese Salad

    • Thinly slice the mozzarella cheese into rounds. Then using a Hello Kitty vegetable or bread cutter, cut the cheese into the shape of Hello Kitty. If you do not have a Hello Kitty-shaped cutter, you can just use a knife to cut them into Hello Kitty shapes.
    • Thinly slice the tomatoes, and then arrange them with the mozzarella on a plate. Tuck the basil leaves between them, and drizzle over some balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and crack over some salt and pepper when ready to serve.

    Polka Dot Fruit Salad

    • Using a melon baller, shape all of the fruit, except for the lychees, into balls.
    • Then simply mix the fruit together with the lychees, place in a serving bowl, and sprinkle over some mini mochi.
