Não acostumo fazer encomendas de personagens (Mickey Mouse, Backyardigans, Barbie...), mas a pessoa que me encomendou esses biscoitos pidiu se poderia fazer alguma coisa relacionada com a Hello Kitty. Aí lembrei que a Callye de SweetSugarbelle tinha postado no seu blog esses biscoitos aquí e decidi faze-los. Muito obrigada Callye pela inspiração e pelos seus tutoriais maravilhosos!

Normally, I don't do character cookies (Mickey Mouse, Backyardigans, Barbie...), but the person who ordered these cookies asked me if I could do something that reminded Hello Kitty. After some thinking I remembered that Callye from SweetSugarbelle had posted these super easy and super nice cookies, so I decided to make them. Thanks a lot to Callye for the inspiration and for her wonderful tutorials!
