After I got my job at the Behemoth, I’ve been traveling back and forth between New York and San Diego. I have a fully functional kitchen at my temporary living space in San Diego but Derek (the person I cook cutesy food for) is in New York, and it just hasn’t been fun making character food for myself. :/
But! I came back to New York for the last time before our big move, and I finally had the time to make some cute food for the holidays!
Non-bento #44: Chocolate covered strawberry Totoro
Quick easy sweets turned out to be a time consuming nightmare… as usual. But I somehow managed to make some (with huge help from Derek) and here are some previews of the delicious victory.
Hopefully I can post more photos of the final food later.
Happy Holidays everyone!!
I was born in Japan, lived in New York for a while and now living in San Diego, California. I love creating things with my hands in my free time whether it’s making character bento or stuffing stuff! And now I'm working for
