A Very Small Apple Bento


This bento accompanied me on the first rainy day of the season. My acorn and leaf Totoro bento box is so cute with the little shrooms and soots. 


It is two tiered with the bottom level solid rice. On one side of the upper level has a cut up baked chicken tender that was rolled in Panko crumbs (leftovers from the previous night's dinner), a slice of bacon, and two jeweled picks - one with three Junior Mints, and one with three Hot Tamales. That's right folks, Candy!


The other side has strawberries, pomegranate seeds (jewels all by themselves), Gouda cheese, and un petite apple.


I always shoot my photos in natural light because I find if I use a flash, the food is less appealing. So here is the ensemble from a distance.

  2. that is one tiny apple! so cute!

    I agree with the natural light. flash can be so harsh. unfortunately I end up cooking & baking with little natural light and it shows in the photos. I guess I should do all my cooking, baking, and photography mid-day! :) especially in the winter months.

    1. I know taking photos in the winter becomes a challenge, and for you, it's probably impossible. Sorry I didn't even consider that! I'm looking into making a photo box so the light bounces off a soft surface instead of the shiny food. I'll be sure to blog about it if it ever happens :D
