Cinderella Bento

Olivia on and off will hint me that she love the story of Cinderella. It is really challenging for me as it really require a lot of patient to work on it. I Google online to see which version Cinderella look great and easy....conclusion....it is still tough work. ^-^'

 

I used cheese as base of the skin colour. I sketch her outline from cheese and everthing must done in fast manner to avoid the cheese melt and soft. Work has to be stop and fridge when you feel the cheese is soft.

I used tweezers to pick hundreds and thousands to colour Cinderella dress, hair and her gloves. Argghh...every hundreds and thousands is hard sweat work. I keep mumbling and tell myself...Sannee! Sannee! You are really out from your mind! Those hundreds and thousands are so tiny like beads. I took about 3-4 hours to fill up all. 

I was actually struggling in eyes part as I feel close look Cinderella do not have sparkling eyes but alien eyes. :s

I pack it with peanut bread and red grapes.

Ohya, she is excited!

I admire Bento Monsters creativity work especially the bread minion and give myself a try. ;p It seems not really turn out good as my nutella getting dried out. Arghh... Thank god Olivia still can recognize out who is the character. Phew......I wonder how bento mummies keep the nutella jam? I always dare not buy the largest can one though the saving is bigger than the medium can. 

I pack it with nutella bread and Moo Moo Free Chocolate as I am running out of fruits from fridge. lol She will have her Dessert with fruits Burberry flavour after she back from school. My girl and I kind of in love with this. yummy!

I had been lazy for past week and the little one wish to had her meals with her buddies. Gotta to respect her decision. :)

I was inspired by Bento Monsters that she shed me the light of idea to made my minion in bread and cheese form. ;p

Minion is made from bread and cheese and details add with nori. I also pack it with red grapes. She will her snack pack fat free while she back from school.

I must hold my legs not to go any nearby McDonalds as there are bringing these cute little minions toy and collectibles. I have bad habits once I have anyone of it, I will try to collect others too.
