Bento 185 – bear choco banana bread

I love choco banana cake so thought choco banana bread should be nice too. Made this simple bear for k’s breakfast this morning. ; Sunshine choco bread, banana slices and grapes for eyes and nose. Move the grapes around to get the different expressions and faces. Happy bento-ing!!

bento 141 – simple …

this is an old post.   my kids helped baked some dark chocolate muffins (premix) sometime last week. both cooperated and did an awesome job reading the recipe instruction, measuring, mixing, arranging and filling the muffin cups.  they had a great time and i was happy to stand aside to supervise. =) they had muffins for snack the next day.  i ’decorated’ the plain dark [...]

a ‘cupbread’ for teacher’s day?

my little gal received her ‘model pupil’ badge 2 days ago. she was pretty excited and reminded me to pin on her uniform twice or thrice! she had told me earlier this year that she tried very hard to behave and complete her work timely, but didnt get the award. well, i supposed she persevered [...]

bento 117 – simple sandwiches

these were prepared last friday, simple sandwiches for the kids using sandwich cutters. i ’drew’ the details with ready made ’choki-choki’ chocolate paste. they are packaged in sticks, just nip a small opening and it’s ready for use. easy and mess-free.  =) sandwich cutters and chocolate paste used to draw the details on bread.

hello kitty chocolate/chocolate chip/banana/walnut sponge cake

i didnt make any bento snacks for my kids  this morning.  k and i baked chocolate chocolate chip sponge cake yesterday night.  we had that for supper, breakfast and snack,  and most likely tomorrow’s breakfast too!  no, that’s not too much of a ‘good’ thing, hehe… we baked them in teeny weeny mini paper cases  and 2 medium size hello kitty. [...]

bento 84 – an elephant hears 2 lions roar!

I am so disappointed with yesterday’s ‘lion’, I just had to try it again today. I made 2 to make up yesterday’s lack of creativity! =) Well, here is the improved version, with better proportion and detail. I used two types of ham (chicken and pork). For a change, I bought chocolate chip bread. the [...]

more muffins

Baked some muffins for office Christmas celebration. Added coffee to the choco flavoured ones but the orange ones are still too ‘moist’ . will need to remember to add more flour to it. 2 more tablespoons, perhaps? To create some varieties, added walnuts or choco chips to the muffins.

mickey

Meet Mickey! My newest addition to the cartoon baking moulds. Love, love them to pieces! Also chk out pooh and my beloved kitty. Feeling nostalgic.. isn’t it ? bring back fond childhood memories. I made these ‘muffins’ two nights ago with a non dairy chocholate cake recipe – eggless and butterless ! Super soft and [...]

chocolate chip orange muffin

  chocolate chips, the kids fav. - orange, hubby’s, and mine too.  i just love the combination and the tangy smell. the next time i bake this, i will use more zest and less chocolate chips (2/3 cup will suffice). will probably also substitute half of the oil with apple sauce, for a heathier recipe (dunno what and how [...]
