Frankenstein Halloween Bento


I was actually no idea until I saw the green bean cake from the bakery. One quick flash had shed into my mind -  Frankenstein! He used to remind me his unique colour and the screw in between his neck. I just wonder does it hurt? lol those small times thought still can recap. hehe

It is pretty simple cut the cake to square, cut out hair design from nori and scars as above. You can use mayonnaise as glue. 

I did not apply any mayo as the green cake is quite moisture hence I just place it on top and not to forget with red grapes. 

Pretty simple huh? ^-^'
