Mothering Corner

I packed something simple for the kids today. It’s just sandwiches cut and decorated as sugarbunnies. The bread was cut with sugarbunny rice mold and sugarbunny veggie cutter respectively to avoid food wastage (tools are shown here and here). For a piece of white bread, I can cut out a big sugarbunny, and 2 smaller ones. The tiny flowers were cut from striped cheese and artificial crab meat with these plungers, and my boy helped me with it. He enjoys playing with these new tools. LOL!

So, here are the bentos:

My boy’s sugarbunny bento

My gal will have the tiny bunnies instead.

I topped some jam with a toothpick for their ears. They are tiny and cute huh?

Have a nice weekend everyone!

I found this stripe cheese idea when I was blog hopping the other day. Thus, I got myself busy last night by preparing the stripe cheese. It’s pretty simple, and it won’t take much of your time.

I cut the cheese in halves.

Then, I started stacking 2 different color of cheese alternately.

Here’s the cheese layers, when it’s almost done…Leave them in room temperature for a few minutes so that the cheese will stick on together.

Then I started slicing them into thinner pieces vertically.

I wrapped the slices of cheese with cling wrap.

Here’s the stripe cheese slices which I refrigerated away in air tight container.

You can try stacking cheese and ham too! The yellow and pink stripes should be very nice for bento.

So, there are today’s bentos:

There are stripe cheese, sweet potatoes (wrapped with nori and ham), rose apples, corns and rambutans.

Here’s a closer shot of the stripe cheese.

My kids love the cheese effect, and they ate the leftover pieces as soon as I had done decorating their bentos!
