I tried following a recipe by the fantastic "Bento Monsters".
I'm pleased with how they turned out, very tasty indeed!
You can find the recipe below if you wanted to try and create them yourself.
Bento Monsters Totoro Bread Bun

Yummy Totoro Onigiri. I made the Totoro rice grey by mixing in black sesame paste.The features are made from cheese slices and nori. I used pink noodles for the whiskers (I was in a hurry so didn't fry them, but frying the noodle means you can eat it, I had to remove these pink ones before eating).
Lovely served with fresh veggies and salmon!

Sorry I have not posted anything recently. We are moving house so I seem to have very little free time for bento and baking.
But, here's some tasty Totoro pull apart buns!
I used a basic bread dough recipe and added black sesame paste to give them a darker appearance.

There's nothing cuter than a Totoro! We're big fans in this family.
Excuse the slightly orange tint, I must buy a daylight lamp for taking photo's on gloomy days.

I used crushed black sesame seeds mixed with the rice to make it grey (its best to do this whilst the rice is still warm). Cheese slices cut into little circles for the eyes and nori for the features.
The cucumber has been cut into leaves and the carrot into flowers, both with cutters.
I tried to give the bento box an autumnal theme. The leaves changing colour in the autumn are quite inspiring.
