The first cutter was one I've actually used a few times before. This time I used it on deli meats too and it cut better than I thought it would. I used the bear to cut out all of the bread and meats then stamped 1/2 the bears with faces and layered it all together with some mustard and lettuce. They formed a Ninja army... with their "katanas" they're ready to protect Monstro's lunch from marauding school children. He's also got oranges, carrots and Funky Monkey Applemon. (I have to say that I was NOT impressed by this flavor!)
The next one I was super excited to try. These were part of the birthday package I blogged about earlier this week.
I used the rice spoon to form some leftover warm rice into barrels. Then I cut down a sheet of nori into smaller strips and wrapped up my barrels. I had a bit of a hard time with the animal cutters because I was using salami and it really wasn't smooth enough to make clean cuts. I also tore the little cheese chicken's head a smidge trying to get it out of the cutter. Once I had the animals cut, I just wrapped them around the nori and put them in Monstro's lunch. It was the easiest way to make an adorable meal I think I've ever tried! I added in some wavy cut carrots, purple cauliflower and a few slices of pear left from break fast. For "dessert" I added in a tiny cup of Funky Monkey Pink Pineapple which is freeze dried pineapple coated in freeze dried guava dust. It's really cool and so delicious!
I had so much fun trying out the new cutters. I think next will be the sausage stamps and the seal from this set on something white. So much fun! :D
