I'm making Princess Belle for bento snack. This is my favourite Princess since my childhood :) Do share with me which is your favourite Princess!!
I traced out Princess Belle picture onto baking sheet. Princess Belle face made from cheese as I find it better than ham. One day will design the Princess Cinderella again ^_^ After cut out the face, I put on bread skin as my girl really liked this part of bread. Underneath the bread skin, I put two cupcakes. Next, arranged the brown hair made of egg sheet (eggwhite mixed with dark sweet sauce and some corn starch). Yellow gown egg sheet as well (egg yolk mixed with some starch). The rest of the details as usual freehand scissor cut out nori and paste. White eyeballs were fondants and the lips was cheese mixed with red fondant. Pink heart fondants for ribbon.
Lastly, arranged some strawberries, marsmallows and Hello Kitty candy pack. I hope you will like Princess Belle bento ^_^ Looks like I still have few more Princesses to make.....gambateh!!! Cheers!
Today's lunch will be tomato ham fried rice with the theme of "Piggy wears tutu dress dancing" :D Actually, I have no idea to made the pig dancing as I just add the fried seafood bean curd in the middle and put lettuce around the pig. Then I used mold to cut out small cheese to make few piggies but changed my mind to make it more cuter by adding a butt :p
I used heart shape cutter to cut out the cheese as butt and freehand cut nori for tail. The legs also used cutter to cut the cheese and arranged it like dancing!! As for the piggy face, the middle part I covered the cheese cause it open =_=" Raisin for eyes and nose. Lettuce for tutu dress and few piggy picks as audience @.@
Sides have spring roll golden bags, honey cherry tomato, strawberry and mayo inside piggy sauce container.
Here you go....look at lovely piggy dancing!! Hope you will like today's lunch bento for my girl ^_^ Cheers!
Today's lunch will be noodles ^_^ I boiled green tea noodles and spaghetti. After done soaked to cold water then rinse. Combine the noodles and mixed with Japanese sauce and I took some to taste it. I don't give my children strong flavor and my kids quite a good eater whatever foods I prepared. So pretty much easy for me and lucky!! Haha....so next, I add the noodles to silicon cup and arranged into bento box. Deco some lettuce and broccoli to covered the empty space :p Next will be the "Chirping Birds" To look at it also looks like chicken ^_^ What you think?
This is female bird that I rolled chicken ham with cheese. Used leave cutter to cut the wings and add in nori for face expression. The feet also used cutter to cut out the chicken ham. Lastly, I add pink pick for it!
This is male bird and repeat all the steps. Normally I will do all the body and lay on top of the noodles then final touched add in nori and picks!
Other sides will be yam pau, fried potato prawn, ribbon pasta, apples and grapes. Hope you will like today's lunch bento! Happy bento-ing to those who had been making bento for their loved ones at home. Cheers!
My girl already can't wait for me to design another princess!!! Gosh.....hope you still like to see my princess theme bento ^_^ This time instead of using light cheese as face, I try out chicken ham. After done all the eyes details....Cinderella looks weird to me but I'm too tired to redo or change to light cheese =_=" Underneath the princess was red bean bun. Next to the bun have marshmallow, korea strawberry and box of raisin.
I draw Princess Cinderella on baking sheet then used scissor to cut out the egg sheet for hair by tracing the outline together with baking sheet. Put the face baking sheet on top of cooked chicken ham and used pen knife to cut. After done, I combine the hair and face together then lay on top of bbq cheese. Next, the tiny details for eyes!!! Gosh.....looks easy but I took quite some time to freehand trim the nori, The white part was crab stick, used scissor to cut as well the blue eggsheet. The white balls were fondants and the lips was crab stick. I cut; paste then stick here and there......until I skipped adding arms for her!!! Argh.....losing my patient after sticking cause the arms kept dropping even I spread mayo or add tiny cheese!!! Seem was due to bun, if is sandwich won't be a problem. Oh well, still not too bad right? Sorry for it :p
Well, I have done 3 princesses for my bento picture album collection!! Princess Aurora, Princess Snow White and today Princess Cinderella ^_^ Few more princesses to make.....gambateh!!! Thank you for reading my blog and hope you will like my Cinderella bento snack!! Cheers!
Today's lunch bento will be "Girl's Day" or "Hinamatsuri Festival". This will be my 3rd design theme ^_^ If you like to see my previous post, do check out :) As usual early morning, I cooked egg fried rice and poured to the bento box.
For little prince, I used oval shape mold to cut out from boiled sweet potato. Freehand cut nori for hair. Used puncher to punch nori for eyes, nose & lips. The white part was crab stick, using oval shape mold to trim and followed on top using lady's finger for green part. Add some ketchup for cheeks and finished with lady's finger tip part for holding ritual baton.
For little princess, repeat the same method of making. Just changed the red gown to crab stick for red part and egg sheet for holding a fan. Used puncher to punch out nori for eyes, nose and lips as well the eyelashes.

You've seen my Princess Aurora and now I'm making Princess Snow White ^_^ I need to used up my egg sheets so for bento snack can spend some time on it. This time, I draw Snow White on baking sheet :) Underneath Princess Snow White prepared sandwich with nutella spread. To make sure the bread nicely fit in the bento, just used the bento box as mold to cut the bread.
Light cheese as Snow White face but first scissors cut out the nori followed by the traced picture for hair. After cut out the hair put on top of the light cheese. Next freehand cut out the eyebrows and the rest of the details. The blue eyeballs also freehand cut out from egg sheet. Add in the crab stick for white part and finished with nori for details. The lips, I used crab stick red part and scissor cut as well and add the nori. After done all the face details, slowly used toothpick to follow the shape to cut out and add on top of the sandwich. Lastly, I add in the blue dress for Snow White and add in crab stick for details of the dress. The white collar, I used crab stick and add some nori strips, due to the background was white so need to stand out the dress. For her ribbon, I add ribbon pick and just freehand cut the crab stick for red strips.
I hope you will understand how I made this Snow White character as I don't have the time to take pictures of step by step :p
Some grapes and marshmallows for her and add cute flower/bees picks! Hope you will like Princess Snow White too! Cheers!
Among all the princess, my girl likes Princess Aurora the most as well Sleeping Beauty story tales ^_^ So I'm going to make her happy when she see her bento snack!!
I cooked some eggyolk sheet and the eggwhite mixed with corn starch and blue food coloring as I need to make blue eyes for Princess Aurora. Freehand using toothpick trim out the face shape from light cheese and used pen knife to cut out the eggsheet as hair. Well, not really looked alike Princess Aurora as I didn't trace from the picture using baking sheet....I skipped the step of tracing :p Freehand cut nori for eyelashes and nose. The lips was cheese mixed with red crashed fondant. I didn't make pink egg sheet for princess dress so I used the blue egg sheet instead. The white eyeballs were fondant too! Underneath te Princess Aurora, I prepared peanut butter sandwich and added colorful fondants.
