Little Miss Bento

The Bear School Bento for breakfast!

Since I have a lunch appointment, I decided to pack a breakfast bento. To lazy to think of complicated designs, so I made used of my The Bear School Silicon Mold and baked some bear shaped chocolate hotcakes. 

Perhaps I should have kept them original flavour only because I think they looked better. haha.  Having said that I do prefer the light chocolatey flavour in this recipe.

The texture was a moist soft cake that tasted almost like a cross between cakes and hotcakes, and  yummy even when cooled.

I have included the recipe in today’s post below. 

I plated some of  The Bear School cakes for breakfast and packed some in my bento box. Check out my new Ito Salad Plate from Crate & Barrel that I bought recently.

The side dishes were simple. Some blanched french beans tossed in Japanese onion dressing, cherry tomatoes and SunMoon Fruit Cup fruits.

SunMoon Fruit Cups are really my saviour when I am in a rush of time. Plus I really like how they are packed in small servings cups.

For my The Bear School Bento, I just brought one Sun Moon Fruit Cup (mixed fruits) along with the bento box, super quick and easy.
