Cake made by the talented Auntie SusanWell, I survived another birthday party. As much as I love planning and hosting parties, they really do wear me out. Even as I type, I'm still recovering from the event. That said, it was all well worth it. Everyone seemed to have a good time and most importantly, the birthday girl had a good time. Here are some of the details from the party:
Left: Thai boba tea, Right: Hello Kitty Chopsticks, Bottom: Table decorations
I was up till 12:30 the night before the party making this decoration. The next day I woke up with a bunch of tape in my hair. I'm just thankful I didn't use a hot glue gun for the project!
Your eyes do not deceive, this is Hello Kitty Japanese masking tape. I found these little gems in SF Japantown.
Here are the favors we gave out to our guests. Each favor contained a little manju (Japanese dessert). I used the Hello Kitty tape to seal the bags.
Another picture of the favors.

What a great party! I remember how much I loved Hello Kitty when I was a girl in the late 70s, how excited I was to spend my allowance on new Sanrio treats at the card store... I would have LOVED to have a Hello Kitty birthday party too :)
I love hello kitty! You did an awesome job. Love all of the details.

That's the best HK cake I've seen! Thank you for sharing and happy birthday to Morgan
Jason turned us (coworkers) on to your blog and we're thoroughly enjoying it. The HK birthday is delightful, I'd love to do something same/similar for my husband (who is an HK freak of epic proportions). Keep up the good work, we love this blog!

Birthday Party Decoration
The HK B'Day cake is awesome as is the rest of goodies and decor. My fave is the cake for sure. :) Did you make the Japanese dessert(s) for the 'giveaways' yourself?

Ancella,
I didn't make the manju. I purchased at the Japanese market.
Little Ol' Liz,
I'm not sure yet if I'll do a tutorial on the Kitty decoration. I'll keep you posted.
Cake is just incredible! I have 4 year girl and she would loved Hello Kitty party too!
Adorable party! My girls love Hello Kitty too. I just had my son's party and I did a similar thank you note with my son's goodie bags and was wondering if you had that be the only thank you or did you send out additional ones? I am torn on the issue!
That is a great cake, and all the little details are just lovely. What a lucky little girl!

I really like the party favors. Now I am on a hunt for Japanese masking tape. You have posted what you have done with this tape. I must try it out for myself.
what a wonderful party! I love your favors and decorations and .....well, I love it ALL!
Adorable!! I request a special entry on how to use decorative tape. Every time I go to Japanese dollar shop (or 100yen shop), I see these great decorative tapes, but I'm just not inspired enough to think I can use it "right".
By the way, I want an Aunt Susan!
What a lovely party! The hanging Hello Kitty decoration is wonderful but the picture of mother and daughter just tops it all!
I'm totally rocking your idea to use cellophane wrappers and washi tape for christmas baking. I couldn't figure out how to get my baked goods to people. I was perusing your blog was was completely inspired. Thanks!
Lovely lady and girl:)
just wanted to say everything looked beautiful, my granddaughter is having a birthday coming and she likes hk wanted to know how did you make that hk hanging decoration would sure to love to hang something like that up at her birthday party...
Stunning ideas, could you maybe give some instructions on the roof decoration, the Hello Kitty Tissue Paper hanger?
Awesome cake I love it and I'm only like 14 and happy birthday Morgan
