A Piece of Cake

I recently celebrated my birthday, which was the perfect time to try out this one particular bento tool which I bought a few months ago. It is a mold to shape rice to look like a slice of cake. I ended up making 8 slices to make one whole "cake" ;D

It took a while to complete, but it wasn't very hard to do. What's more is that I only used 1 bento tool :)

The cake is made of:

- Jasmine rice.

- Pink fish denbu.

- Egg sheet (Tutorial on how to make egg sheet by Bentolicious).

- Cucumber, carrot, raspberry and cheese stick as decorations.

A bunch of ideas

Made of:

- Plain bread with sweet potato jam, cut into circles.

- Green apple "leaves".

- Licorice as the stem.

I have got a bunch of ideas that I want to make into bentos, but this month particularly is not the ideal month to be active in the kitchen ;D But I will (must!) try to materialise at least two by the end of August. Stay tune!

I am back! I have not been making any fancy bentos for one and a half months as I was on a holiday. And maannn, I feel like a total newbie again! I think I lost my artsy-fartsy ideas and skills during the vacation LoL. My hands were shaking the whole time I was doing this. Cry!
