A Snail Bento

Today’s bento is simple and speedy because I bought some cake rolls, and all I needed to do was decorating the cake rolls as snails. I cut a mini wiener into halves, diagonally, and boiled them until they slightly curl up. Then, I pinned the wieners onto the cake rolls with spaghetti strips. The eyes were cut from fish tofu, and pinned to the wieners with tiny strips of spaghetti too.

So, here are the snails:


My gal’s bento with a snail cake roll, some mango, gold kiwi, grapes and blueberries.

 


And here’s my boy’s bento.

 

You must be wondering how I closed the bentos huh? LOL! I pushed the fruits to the side and gently laid down the snail, as shown below:


I pinned the wiener at the side of the cake as if the snail is turning its body.

 

 Pretty simple huh? :)
