I made this Hello Kitty sheep bento to match with the lovely Hello Kitty charm I received from a bento friend. My photo does not do justice to the beautiful charm, it's a lot more glittery in real life.

The idea for the Hello Kitty sheep was from a plush I saw in Japan last December. I immediately snapped a picture of it using my handphone because I thought I might want to make it into a bento.

The pink rice was coloured with pink sushi mix. The other details were done using egg, kamaboko and nori. Can you spot the sheep cookie in the bento box?

The idea for these sheep cookies were from the sheep pineapple tarts made by HuiのBento Journal. She has a video recipe of how to create the pineapple tarts on her page.

I did not follow her steps exactly, you can refer to my recipe below on how I did mine.

I used German cookie recipe for these sheep. German cookie is quite a popular recipe among most baking blogs, the cookies are easy to make and simply melts in your mouth.
