Bento#March21~Powerpuff Girls "Blossom"

My girl requested "Blossom" from one of the Powerpuff girls character for her theme bento. She showed me the story book that she borrowed from her school library today. Since I've made "Blossom" before so why not?? 
I boiled crabstick and made egg sheets yolk mixed little bit of ketchup. First, I used cutter to cut cheese out for Blossom face. Take smaller circle cutter to cut crabstick white part for eyes and overlapped the red part then freehand nori scissor cut for black eyeballs. Just penknife cut the dress and hand as well as Blossom's hair. Freehand cut all the nori details. The shoes was crabstick white part using oval shape cutter then add nori for the details. From the closed up picture you can see some of the nori not evenly trim by freehand :p
So what to do with the eggwhites? I made tamagoyaki then decorate as flower ^_^ I add some red touch for it! Pretty right? Hehe....hope you like this ideas!
Blossom seem to admired the huge flower!!! Underneath, I made peanut butter sandwich again! Both of my kids never get bored with peanut butter :) 
One packet of waffles, some blueberries and strawberry.

Bento#March19A~Bunny looking for carrots!

I'm making bunny again but not for Easter theme ^_^ This time I made bunny looking for carrots theme bento snack!! Peanut butter flower toasted bread and decoration with bunny theme. Actually didn't thought of making bunny but the ideas just pop out from my mind when I saw carrot picks!! Let me showed you the tools I've used.
I used the flower cutter for my girl's peanut butter toasted bread. Is pretty handy and easy to used as well can bake a small pie using this cutter mould ^_^ For bunny, I used the small green butterfly shape cutter. Only cut half from cheese for bunny body. Bunny ears was made from the cut out heart shape flower cutter (Don't waste it). Just cut half from the small heart to made it bunny ears! Lastly, punch nori for bunny face except using the ears.
Here is the closed up bunny and is pretty easy to understand if you looked back the cutter above.
