I made this for Totoro parade bento, but I realized that I hadn’t done a how-to on this! This may look difficult but it’s a very adorable decoration to your kyaraben.

I really wanted to do this how-to on the 8th, but I was attending NY comicon, and just didn’t have the time, so I’m doing it today!
Last year, our company decided to have a pot-luck style office Christmas party. I knew a lot of people were making entrees, so I wanted to make a dessert. Then I remembered the meringue mushrooms I’d had at my friend’s party before. It looked just like mushrooms but it was made out of meringue! I made bunch of meringue mushrooms and people loved them!
Meringue mushrooms are very sweet, so I thought it’d be perfect for Valentine’s day. Just normal meringue mushroom would be boring… so I decided to make it into Valentine meringue mushroom for a nerdy boyfriend!
[Valentine Meringue Mario Mushrooms (this recipe makes about 24~26 mushrooms)]
- 2 egg whites (room temperature)
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar (or powder sugar if you have any)
- marshmallow
- vanilla extract (if you have any)
- red food coloring (green for 1up mushroom)
- chocolate (baking chocolate is preferred, but you can just use a normal bar chocolate bar)
- white icing (I used the one that comes in a tube)
- a round tip with a pastry bag (or gallon size Ziplock bag. That’s what I used.)
- toothpick

Today’s how-to might seem advanced, but it’s really not!
When I made my Super Smash Bros Brawl bento (which I haven’t done a blog about yet… but it’s coming up next!), I got so much exposure on the internet. Many game related websites posted the picture of my bento. I was really surprised, but I noticed that many people who really liked my bento were moms! Their kids, just like my boyfriend, love Yoshi, and they wished they could make Yoshi for their kids. So I decided to do how to make Yoshi, because making someone smile is what bento making is about.

- potato salad or mashed potato
- lettuce
- cheese
- carrot (preferably baby carrot)
- blueberry

This is also something I made for Super Smash Brothers Brawl bento.
It’s very easy to make, and looks adorable. If you don’t put eyes on it, you can just use it as normal mushroom for your bento.
[Super mushroom]
- quail egg or hot dog sausage
- cheese
- seaweed
- cherry tomato
