Bento#Nov07~Sporty girl

Today kids lunch will be tomato shell pasta and ham with cheese bread. On top of the shell pasta, I add hard boiled egg. Part of the egg I decorate as flower ball that is for today's theme~Sport Girl~ playing ball. As you can see I used cutter to cut as cloud to look like sky :P The flower ball, I use puncher to cut the nori.
 Sporty girl I used oval shape cutter to cut the cheese as face. And add dolly eyes for her with nori. Freehand cut nori for hair, nose, mouth and ear. Broccoli as her dolly dress and used broccoli bottom part as dress frills but you need to cut thin slice. As for her boots, I used sausages :) To let the boots stay firm onto the bread, I used spaghetti sticks poked the sausage then to the bread. Her hands I used cutter as well. Lastly, I add some fondant star for her hair band.
 I hope you will like this sporty girl bento too!! Have a nice day~

Bento#Nov06~Porcupine & friends

I used 甜豆沙饼 to make this lovely porcupine ^_^ As you can see I used cheese for the porcupine quills with some nori to make it looks sharps. Followed by the eyes, nose, mouth and cute tiny front legs :p As this is for my girl's bento so I added pretty ribbon picks. Finished with some biscuits, marshmallow and small mandarin orange.
What do you think? Is pretty easy to make this. For the quills I used toothpick to trim out the cheese, piece by piece add onto the bun. To make it more like in the jungle, I add some cute animal friends for porcupine. This lovely animals were sponsor by Bento Berries     

Bento#Nov05~Pucca kisses

Oh no....darker skin tone of Pucca version :D Kids wanted fried rice for their school lunch so mummy turn it to this lovely cute PUCCA . Just used plastic foil to wrap the fried rice into oval shape for face and two hair buns. After done add the nori for the rest of the details. The red part I used crabmeat stick for Pucca tied hair and some ketchup for cheeks ^_^
  The side dishes I prepared 2 layer tamagoyaki, edamame beans, crabmeat fish rolls and scallop nugget. Decorate with some heart shapes red crabmeat on top of the edamame beans and rolls as flowers at the side. 
 Hugs and kisses from mummy to my darlings "muaks" Hope you all have a wonderful day!! Cheers!

Bento#Nov04~Lovely Kitty

Kids grandparents gave them a box of 豆沙饼. What is it call in English?? hmm....anyway, this is another easy bento to make for snack :) I just freehand cut nori or you can used puncher but due to the small bun, I can't find the proper size of my puncher at home. So, I liked to freehand cut nori :p The ears I used cheese, no need to use cutter mould but just take small knife to cut the cheese. Each side of the ears I cut two same sizes of cheese and sticks together so that won't fall off and also stay firm on top. The sauce container, I added whip cream that my girl likes it so much. Lastly put cherry tomato with cute hello kitty picks that I bought recently from Bento Berries as well the kitty red ribbon too ^_^
 Do you like Hello Kitty? You can easily make this cute character as long is round :D
Another angle of the picture ^_^ Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Bento#Nov02~Angels Loved Heart

This afternoon attended "All Saint's Day" mass. So it gave me an idea of making ANGELS for my kids bento :) So I bought some mini buns and put angel on top of it. How to make angels?? I used small round shape cutter and squid/ghost cutter (Refer the picture below) cut cheese. The round shape cheese will be the angel face, so just cut nori for the face/hair. Next used the squid/ghost shape cutter for the angels long robes, to make it nicer just crushed blue fondant or you prefer to use egg white sheet also can ^^ The hands, I used hands cutter and holds red heart fondant ^_^ Lastly, use wing food picks for angels wings. Finished with some mochi, cherry tomato and some grapes with musical notes picks!!

Pretty lovely angels with loving heart
Here are the cutter I used to make angels and wear halos.

Bento#Nov01~Smile Bear

Shell pasta for my kids school lunch ^_^ I boiled shell pasta, few ribbon pasta,sweet corn, carrots, angry birds fishcake and broad beans. While waiting, I prepared tamagoyaki with some spring onion. I used half to make as a bear. After all ingredients cooked. I add creamy cheese sauce to the shell pasta. Sprinkle some fish floss on top so when I put the tamagoyaki bear will stand out nicely :) Broad beans for the ears and nose. Apple for cheeks and also checker apple for another container. The ribbon pasta cut into half and add in between carrots. Lastly, add in nori for the bear eyes and mouth. Hope this smilling bear will brighten up your day!!
