Merida

Merida from Disney’s Brave 🙂 Sandwich face, with white chocolate whites of the eyes, blue M&M irises (with food marker pupils). Mouth was fondant and hair is made of carrots. Arrow is just white chocolate and a pretzel. Greenery is fennel greens. 

And yay! It was Bento of The Week over at Bento Blog Network!

An Angel Dog

I found these corndogs at Trader Joe’s and wanted to see what I could do with them. Today, I went as kawaii as I ever had (except for Hello Kitty) and used my food picks to make an angel dog. Sides are dried fruit (apricots and blueberries) and fresh kiwi. The little pink container has ketchup in it. The lunch isn’t as well styled as I wanted but I was running out of time as the corndog has to cook for 20 minutes in the oven and I didn’t time it well enough. Next time!
