How To Make Cheese Characters (Tutorial) The Lorax



Cutout drawing, cheese, knife, toasted nori, whole puncher and tweezers are needed.



Lie your picture onto main cheese color and slowly "chop" around the picture.

Cut mustache and eyebrows off from picture and trace onto white cheese then cut out eyes, nose and mouth with straw. Use tweezers to place them onto the character and then punch out three circles, snip one in half and put them in their respective places.

You can do this with any character - but just remember that you need to toast your own nori over the stove (no matter what it says) and it should be placed on later so that it won't become soggy. Using your cheese as a base is what keeps this all together - but feel free to experiment and enjoy!





Finn and Jake Burger

Oh no! Finn and Jake have been kidnapped by a semi-lazy (at the moment) bento artist and can't shout for help! They've been made into delicious soy-cheese figures with nori eyes all atop a delicious veggie burger with all of the fixin's! Will you save Finn and Jake or will you be too tempted by this delicious burger?

Ingredient List:

1 Gardein Veggie Burger

2 slices of Vegan Flat-Bread Rounds

A handful of Lettuce

2 slices of a Brown Tomato

A Sprinkle of Onions

A smidge of Spicy Hummus

Enjoy!

Hello Kitty Tea-Sandwiches

I was actually going to make a video for this one but I've been too busy working on a paper for next month. All you need for the great shapes is the bottom of a Hello Kitty egg mold (which I got online from Japan). Once you have that, everything else is a breeze, even though I obviously got the bows facing the wrong way.

Ingredients List:
1 tbl Hummus (spread 3/4 in the middle of each sandwich and the rest on the top)
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread
Baby Spinach Leaves or Other Small Fillings (for the sandwich)
2 Slices Mozzarella-Style Tofutti
1 Slice Orange Cheddar Tofutti
1 Small Patch of Nori
1 Small Patch of Red Pepper and Kamaboko
Cucumber Slices for decorating

Use your egg mold bottom to cut out the slices of bread first (side by side in Whole Wheat Bread) and then carefully spread some of the hummus on. Set it aside, add two small pieces of folded spinach and repeat with the other slice of bread.  You should get two HK pieces from each. Sandwich a naked bottom to a hummus-topped one and spread the rest of the hummus gently on top (not too much). Cut out your white cheese with the egg mold and carefully place it on top. Cut out your bows (make sure they'll face the right way) by cutting out one largish heart and a smaller heart, plus a little dot to connect them. Place them on the right side of HK's head and then cut out your nori with a very small hole punch. Add the eyes and then cut out six whiskers for each, using either tweezers or a bamboo skewer to adjust them. Add the nose with a lightly pinched straw (to give it that oval shape) and add cucumbers for decoration.

This dish is perfect for those with small children or for those who have a small appetite. I really hope that you'll enjoy this. Make sure to leave a comment to tell me how I'm doing! Enjoy!

Paul and Percy Bento

If you haven't checked out the game on Newgrounds yet - this is a must. In the bento it's technically just Paul (or Percy?) and Carl because my first brown rice onigiri fell apart and it would take up too much space. I also wanted to dye Carl's radish wings but I didn't have any red cabbage to dye it with. What do you think?

Paul and Percy Bento Ingredients:
Soy Cheese
Nori
Lightlife Hot Dog
Cucumber
White Button Mushrooms
Spinach
Parsley
Brown Rice (with 1 tbl Soy Sauce, 1 tbl Beet Juice and 3/4 tbl Paprika)

Enjoy the game and the bento! I plan on experimenting more with treats based on this game.
