Q: To turn your two round cakes into the wide and elongated Hello Kitty face, you need to cut the two cakes and wedge them together. Use your eye to draw an imaginary line down the center of one cake. Now move over by one inch (2.5 cm) and cut the cake in half an inch off center.  You should now have two uneven cake halves, with one about five inches wide and the other three inches. Repeat with the other cake. Set aside the two smaller cake wedges. Use a frosting knife to coat the cut edge of one of the large cake wedges. Orient the other large cake wedge so the cut edges are facing each other. Gently press the two cake wedges together, using the frosting to hold them together.  Use a knife to cut and smooth the face if there are any areas where the cakes are joined unevenly. You want a nice, smooth, rounded rectangular shape for the Hello Kitty cake. Orient the cake so the rounded rectangle is widthwise in front of you. Use the two smaller wedges of cake to create the ears. With a knife cut out two equilateral triangles from the leftover cake, each with a two-inch (5-cm) base, and a height of two inches (5 cm).  Round out the bases of the triangles in an inward direction so the ears will join with the face smoothly. Reserve the leftover cake for cake pops or some other recipe Cover the rounded base of each ear with a layer of frosting. Attach one ear to the top left corner of the cake, and the second ear to the top right corner. Once the ears are attached, you have the basic Hello Kitty face shape in place, and can move on to decorating. Use a frosting knife to cover the entire top and sides of the cake with a generous layer of frosting. Frost the ears gently so they don’t get knocked out of place. The frosting should be smooth and even, but it doesn’t have to be perfect, as it will be covered in fondant. Dust a flat work surface and your rolling pin with cornstarch. Turn the fondant out onto the covered surface and roll it out in a rectangular shape. Continue rolling until the fondant is flat and even, and about one-quarter inch (6.4 mm) thick. Dust your work surface and rolling pin with more cornstarch as necessary if the fondant sticks while you're rolling it. Gently peel the fondant off the work surface and center it over the cake. Place the fondant down on top of the cake, letting the excess spill over the sides. Dust your hands with some cornstarch, and gently mold the fondant to the cake.  Start at the top center of the cake, and slowly work your way outward, molding the fondant to the cake as you go. Be careful when molding the fondant around the ears, as they may get knocked out of place. Last, gently press the fondant around the base of the cake. Use a knife or pizza cutter to trim off the excess fondant, following the shape of the cake.
A: Cut the cakes. Attach the cakes to create the face. Make the ears. Attach the ears. Frost the cake. Roll out the fondant. Cover the cake with fondant.

Q: You can use laundry detergent, dish soap, baby oil, olive oil, or toothpaste to lift the dye from your skin. Try to find fragrance-free soaps to avoid irritating your skin.  If the dye is on your face, use oil or toothpaste first since these are less likely to bother the sensitive skin on your face. Any toothpaste will work, but one with baking soda in it may be more effective at loosening the dye.
A: Get out detergent, oil, or toothpaste.

Q: Leave 1 inch of space at the top of the jar. Flatten whole peppers. Add ½ a teaspoon of salt if you would like your peppers to be saltier. Leave a 1/2 in. (1.3cm) of space at the top of the jars. Bubbles can cause mold to form inside the jar once it has been sealed.
A: Place peppers into jars so that they are loose and not tightly packed. Pour the pickling liquid over the peppers. Eliminate bubbles of air by stirring each jar with a small rubber spatula. Dab the rims of each jar with a cloth or paper towel. Put the seals on the jars and tighten them so that they are firmly closed, but not too tight.

Q: Though every student who qualifies "will receive their grant in full," there are a few small exceptions. The government likes to know you're going to stick to your word -- if you're failing out of college, they may deem you a lost cause and cease aid. What's more, the better your grades, the more other grants you may receive, so it's just good common sense. If you receive a criminal conviction while you're a student, your eligibility may change. Don't assume you can't get funds, but do know that it may be more difficult. It all depends on your specific situation. You are only eligible for Pell grants for 12 semesters, or six years. They do not have to be consecutive, but that is the limit. You will receive a notification if you are nearing the checkpoint. In order to receive loans and grants, you have to file the FAFSA every year. This is because your tax information may change and has to be accounted for. Though you'll use the same pin, you still have to file. Act quickly. Though the Pell grant is not awarded on a first come, first served basis, it is best to do it as quickly as possible. The earlier you apply, the more other grants you may receive.
A:
Keep your grades up and record clean. Finish in six years. File every year.
