Cupcake Toppers

How do you use cupcake toppers? I don't think I've ever use them to decorate cupcakes. I use them to decorate my son's meal or bento. Sometimes, I just use them as food picks. They are inexpensive, and are not difficult to find.

Apple Carving

Pin It Now!
My son loves to eat apple, and I like to play with apple :D
















It's not as difficult as it seems if you have the right tool.
I use this little carving knife. Just don't forget to dry the knife right after you use it because it does get rusty easily.








One more important tip! Preparing a bowl of salt water ( 1 cup of water with 1 tea spoon of salt) when you want to carve apples. Dipping the apple in salt water for a few seconds will prevent it from turning yellow. You should do that even during the half why through your carving process!  Don't worry....your apple won't taste salty.
Lemon water would do the same trick. However, I don't always have lemon in my kitchen.
It works on pear and pineapple too!

用土司麵包,起司,海苔做的萬聖節三明治便當.

Here is an example.












It's a ham sandwich cut out from a pumpkin cookie cutter.
The eyes and mouth are made by seaweed( nori) and process cheese. First, I use scissors to cut the seaweed into the shapes I need, and placed the seaweed on a slice of cheese. Then, I used a little knife to cut them out. Finally, I use a little bit of cream cheese( or mayo) as glue to stick them on the sandwich.
The bone shape food picks are some little extras to make the lunch spookier :D









Here are two more halloween sandwiches that's made from bread, seaweed and cheese.
