This is cute but kind of sad, the description says: “This is a perfect robot for whoever does not have a lot time to stay with child.”
Since my bear cake failed, I had to come up with something to bring to our potluck. I signed up to bring cake so I quickly mixed up some strawberry cake mix and used my new Hello Kitty silicone cake pan. I used the leftover mix to make mini cupcakes to surround the Hello Kitty’s head.
I love Hello Kitty! (Not like you didn’t know that already.)
At the potluck no one wanted to cut into her head so I did the honors… just like my birthday cake.
We had a good potluck, too much food for our little pharmacy group at Mt. Zion so I still have half the head to eat for breakfast and snacks… we’ve been eating too many sweets…

I bought this very cute Build-a-Bear cake pan from Williams-Sonoma that allows you to bake a cake in the shape teddy bear sitting up. The bear is in two parts and you use frosting to “glue” the two pieces together.
I cheated a bit and used Devil’s Food cake mix instead of making my own cake but I did make my own butter and cream cheese frosting.
Here are the two sides cooling on a wire rack.
I think next time I’ll try the cake recipe on the back of the box. The mix out of the box doesn’t seem to be dense enough so the cake is a bit “floppy”.
I baked the cake itself on Wednesday and let it cool overnight and attempted to frost it on tonight prior to our holiday potluck tomorrow afternoon. Well it turned out to be quite a disaster as the frosting wouldn’t harden so the two sides wouldn’t stick well together. I tried to salvage it by putting the frosting on the bear but my frosting wouldn’t spread well so my attempt of using it to seal the bear from the outside failed… so sad.
So now this poor bear will be our breakfast and snack for the next few days…

Our friends K&J are back from their around-the-world tour and have moved back to SF. We went out for dinner at Shin Toe Bul Yi. I’ve heard good things about the restaurant so it seemed like a good time to try it.
My favorite item of the night was the green onion pancake. Ron says it tasted good because it had lots of egg. All I know was that it was yummy.
We also had steaming bowls of seafood tofu soup and beef tofu soup. They also have the rice sticks with spicy sauce. The tofu soups weren’t spicy enough for us. They had plenty of yummy side dishes.
We barbequed at our table on a gas powered grills. We had the pork belly and the beef. The beef was different than we expected, it was like a pieces of a thick steak sliced rather than the thinly sliced bulgolgi.
We had a nice chat about some of our adventures over the past year. I’m glad they’ve come back and am looking forward to their wedding 🙂
