What Is A Bento Box?

Bento, meaning 'boxed meal', is often combined with the art of food presentation - making it look as good as it tastes! From adorable miniature animal and character-shaped foods, to beautifully decorated bento boxes where the food is neatly presented, bento takes the joy of eating to a whole new level!

Sweet Bento Box?

Even though bento boxes are typically made with HEALTHY foods, I thought it would be fun to make a dessert bento. Why not? Think about all the different possibilities! A dessert bento box could be given as a sweet bento dessert, a special treat, or would even make a fun gift! Think about how excited someone would get to receive a box filled with adorable, sweet treats! It truly can bring out the kid in anyone!

Candy Sushi

An important addition to a Dessert Bento

To make 'soy sauce, use chocolate syrup.

To make 'wasabi', use a few drops of green food coloring to tint whipped cream, vanilla yogurt, or cream cheese. If you want it to have some kick (like real wasabi), add a drop or two of cinnamon oil.

    it looks like great fun and so creative. I love sushi and most forms of Japanese food, although sugar isn't part of my diet, I'll admire what others can enjoy for dessert
