Zombie Hello Kitty cake

Kristen's Zombie Hello Kitty cake combines every wonderful thing: zombies, Hello Kitty, ganache, and trademark infringement. Well done that cake-maker!

Kristin's Hello Kitty Birthday Cake

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

That’s a really cool cake, but am I the only one who thought it was a kind of strange thing to do for a kid that young? It’s their kid, and I don’t know the first thing about parenting- but it seemed a strange gift for someone presumably too young to appreciate the ironic.

Maybe I just find the idea of a (what- 8 year old?) having a sophisticated sense of irony depressing.

How can she say “braaaaiiins” if she doesn’t have a mouth?

Law nerd here. It’s not trademark infringement, as long as it’s a parody (clearly) and she isn’t using it commercially (from what I understand, she doesn’t seem to be selling the cake). Check it out, Harvard Law says so: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/metaschool/fisher/domain/tm.htm#10

The cake wasn’t for my daughter, it was for my wife. My daughter loves Hello Kitty and thought it was a wonderful cake too. This was covered several months ago on hellokittyhell.com when I had it made. The cake was made by Debbie of DebbieDoesCakes.net
