The bento box I used today is the same as one of the prizes in my “Happy & Healthy” giveaway contest previously. I love the vibrant yellow of the bento boxes, which comes in four different sizes. I use the second largest one for JY’s bento today.
I did not have anything particular in mind that I wanted to make and I thought instead of wasting my time trying to think of what to do, I might as well just replicate the cute bear on the cover of this bento box.
I cut the bear from the very light yellow butter bread with the biggest round cutter, but carefully leaving the ears part uncut.
I used the left over bread crust and seaweed for the facial details. I layered the eyes part using different sections of the bread crust which formed two different shades. The eyes look livelier with layers, don’t they? Lastly I gave the bear a red ribbon with the ribbon food pick.
I let the bear sat on a round silicon baking cup, and I put some cherries in the remaining spaces of the bento box, separated from the bread by some green lettuce leaves.
Pretty simple isn’t it?

This is so cute! Your fat teddy matching the lid from your bento box. The bow from food pick is so clever
Lia Chen – Thank! Nowadays I’m so lazy that if anything I can find from the food pick, I will not cut them, haha…
Very cute bear! I love his little paws!
Susan – Oh yes, this paw puncher is one of my favourite too!
