Hello Kitty Cake

1 cake mix, any flavor, with specified ingredients (water, oil, eggs)
1 can vanilla frosting
1 fruit by the foot
Wilton black paste food color, or two black jellybeans and 6 black licorice strings
Yellow food color, or one yellow jellybean
Two toothpicks
Shake-on clear sparkles (optional)

Prepare cake mix as directed. Bake in 9 X 13-inch pan. Turn cake out on board covered with parchment or Reynold's Release. Freeze cake for four hours or overnight. Take out 2 Tbsp of vanilla icing and put in small custard cup. Mix with black paste until black. Put in ziploc snack bag. Take out 1 Tbsp of vanilla icing and do the same with the yellow food color. Refrigerate icing in baggies for a few minutes.

Take cake out of freezer. Cut a big oval and two small rounded triangle ears from cake. Attach ears on cake with toothpicks. Cover with remaining vanilla icing. Remove colored icing from refrigerator. Cut corner out of baggies, and pipe two black eyes, six black whiskers, and one yellow nose on cake. Hello Kitty does not have a mouth. Refrigerate fruit by the foot for a few minutes so it's not too sticky to work with. Arrange into a bow and put near right ear. Shake on sparkles, if desired.
