Hello Kitty Patisserie makes you inner girlie girl squeal

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Jun 28th 2006 @ 10:28PM

Someone please tell me why I have never seen a Hello Kitty Patisserie in the United States. Why? Why?!?

I know. It sounds ridiculous. And I can't believe that when I read about it over on A Hungry Girl's Guide to Taipei, I actually felt the my inner little girlie girl shriek with delight. She many have even clapped her tiny hands together. All of the pastries are adorned in some way with the little mouthless kitty that we all love, whether the image is stamped into the dough, or accessorized with some candy, kitty-shaped confection. The bakery wraps your purchases up and send you off with a giant Hello Kitty bag.

Does it taste good? Who cares? It's Hello Kitty! (But according the Hungry Girl, some were forgetable, while others were "actually pretty tasty").

Wouldn't these just be too adorable on the breakfast table with my Hello Kitty toaster and coffee pot? (I told you I was a freak!)

They also have larger cakes and cheesecakes- which I might try someday. Please say hello on my post when you get a chance and link back to your blog if you like! :)

Therefore, those originators do not get paid for their originality and work by those who indiscriminately use it in other countries. Goes for that music that someone depends on for a living, too!
Lecture aside, what a great idea for adults and kids! Wouldn't a "Hello, Kitty" tearoom be a good idea??
