The official countdown to our Disney world vacation starts with this bento lunch! My character building skills are a little rusty, particularly in the facial detail areas and I could probably critique this bento for ages. But honestly it's only 5 days til Disney so who cares?! I knew that A-chan would be excited. However, my current level of excitement was unanticipated. I could have done a Micky Mouse bento which might have been simpler, but I wanted a challenge. I wanted a princess. So here is the favorite princess of my 16 year old self: Jasmine.
In the bento: Cheese sandwich hiding under Jasmine, strawberry slices, lemon slices, checkered cucumber slices and veggie hotdogs with carrot heart centers and a provolone cheese star with a carrot #5.
Jasmine was created with a background of provolone cheese, soy turkey for skin, cheddar cheese for jewelry and several colors of egg sheets for everything else. Her little bird was made from white egg sheet, soy turkey and carrot. I used nori for her eyelashes, nose and lips to give some definition.
I drew the character out on a piece of paper then cut each piece out around the edges of the paper with either my food scissors or an exacto knife blade. Several different layers give a partial 3D illusion, especially with the hair. A-chan loved it and gave me huge smiles, oohs and aahs this morning. This might be the best loved lunch of the school year so far.
