I stumbled upon http://www.make-fabulous-cakes.com/valentine-meringue-pops.html this site a few years ago and instantly fell in love with how easy and how beautiful the meringues came out. I decided that this year, I will experiment in making them into Hello Kitty shapes. I skipped a few steps by just piping the meringue directly onto the sticks.
For HK's eyes and noses, I used royal icing shapes I made a while back for my niece's Hello Kitty Sugar Cookies. I drew on her whiskers with edible food writer or you can use a clean artist's paint brush, (dedicated for food only) and black gel food coloring. I also piped on her bow by adding some red food coloring to some of the meringue.
Visit her blog http://www.make-fabulous-cakes.com/valentine-meringue-pops.html for the recipe and video.
I will need to figure out how to make the face smoother. Hastily, I just used a knife to smooth it out. These are pre-baked pictures:
