Now let's move on to the cake mounting part :

First of all, I recommend you to draw a Hello Kitty head on a baking paper, as inspiration you can use many drawings that you can find in Google Images.

In our country, the best in drawing is Daddy, so it's his job :)

Then cut the drawing and you will have a good shape to cut the pandispan correctly.

Step 11

After removing the cooled pandispan from the tray, place the paper cut shape on it and following the contour, cut the edges of the pandispan as well.

For the whipped cream, beat the cream with the 2 glasses of powdered sugar ( follow the instructions here ).

Step 14

To grease the cake I made a mascarpone cream:

- beat well with the cheese mixer, add at least 5 tablespoons of whipped cream, to mix well.

Do not overdo the beating as it can cut or make butter, just beat until incorporated.

The rest of the whipped cream is used to decorate the cake.

Grease abundantly with mascarpone cream.
