Lumpy Space Princess Bento

I LOVE LUMPY SPACE PRINCESS!

She's hilarious and like everyone else who loves her, I'm into her lumps. (HA!)

I thought, if I had to do an Adventure Time bento, who is it gonna be?

WHO ELSE!

I am lovin' her nonchalant expression!

1. LSP's head: Akitakomachi Rice, mixed with pink and blue dye.
2. Eyes and mouth: Nori
3. Star on head: Cheese
4. Stars around her: Potatoes

For the second tier, you could do whatever you like. I made meatballs from scratch, egg rolls with mayonnaise (with food colouring of course!) and strawberries.

I had fun making this, I was giggling as I put her face together. She's just too awesome to be true!

These lumps, you can't have 'em!

Mamegoma Bread Balls

I was looking through the net for Mamegoma bento ideas when I came across this site.

Holy bananas! Squashing bread into a ball? Isn't it kinda bad cause it makes the bread flat?

But heck no, this is plain genius. I stuffed Philadelphia cream cheese inside and that's easily one of the best things I've ever eaten. Each bite commands a heavenly moment as the cheese melts in your mouth. And to top it off, the bread is of the right amount so it doesn't water down the taste of the cheese.

 

 

LOOK AT DAT FACE!

JUST LOOK AT THAT!! (LOLOLOL)

I tear a little everytime I bite into these cute faces but THEY ARE SO YUMMY.

 

Anyway, I'm a poor student and do not have many bento-making tools, so I did things my way. And... look, just look at how cute these look! Rather than using moulds to cut the shapes out, I used food dye and the unwanted bread corners. (Don't be sad bread corners, you were of good use at the end!!)
 

 What I used:

 

 

1. Follow instructions as per the site from the first paragraph of this post.
2. Drip 1-2 droplets of water onto saucer as shown. (I used the ceramic kind as the dye won't stain on these type of surfaces.)
3. Use a toothpick and just dip once into the dyes. (We don't need it to be too concentrated or dark!) Swirl toothpick in the puddle of water you created.
4. Repeat for the other colour.
5. Use the bread corners that you cut off. Use it like a sponge to dip the colouring then dab it on the bread roll to create effect.
6. For the eyes, mouth and nose, I used chocolate sauce and drew the details using a toothpick.

So get off your butt and start making these cause,

1. They're really easy to make.
2. They're really yummy.
3. They're so cute! Don't these just make your day!?

Alright, that's all for now.

BYE.
