Mothering Corner

CP sent me a photo of a new tool the other day, and I thought of sharing it here:

I don’t think I will buy it as I already have the panda sandwich cutter. I’m trying to spend lesser on shopping to be frugal and avoid debt consolidation if I overspend! But the idea is great, and I decided to give it a try.

Firstly, I prepared one of the Sugarbunnies veggie cutters, which I bought from Sanrio during the weekend. If you can’t find these sugarbunnies veggie cutters in your area, check out NST.

I used these cutters for today’s sandwiches.

Firstly, print sugarbunny’s face with this cutter.

Then, use this cutter (the oval shape facing down) to outline the imprint of sugarbunny.

I did an “upside down” imprint on the top of the bread.

Then, I spread some butter and placed a thin layer of meat floss on another piece of bread. Try not to place too much filling as the sandwich might not be able to seal well if it’s too full.

Use the panda bread cutter to cut off the crusts and seal the sandwich. Then, cut the sandwich into halves.

I repeated the same process for another piece of sandwich, and packed some banana, mango and an quail egg in the bentos. Of course, I added some details for Sugarbunnies too.

The cutters and nori punchers used for today’s bentos.

So, here is the end result:

My gal’s Kurousa, which is supposed to be a brown bunny, but well, it looks cute in white too.

And here’s my boy’s Shirousa.

I painted the ears with a red edible pen which comes in this set:

Edible color pens.

If you can’t find the pens from your local supermarket, maybe you can try these coloring chocolate pens, or use any jam of your choice, and color the parts with a toothpick. It should do the trick too.
