NEW CUTE YUMMY TIME BLOG: HELLO KITTY GINGERBREAD HOUSE, SANRIO COOKING CONTEST.


Cute Yummy Time kawaii bento cookbook, decorated cute food recipes.

Ruh roh… the Godzilla has spawned. Introducing my second blog, dedicated to cute cooking and kawaii bentos! It’s a community for fellow aficionados of “cute cooking.” I invite you to submit photos of your cute food (either found or handmade) and share your experiences and ideas.

Hello Kitty gingerbread house, Sanrio candies. Cute food, decorated like Hello Kitty characters.

I’m not the only one in my family who engages in “kawaii ryori”. My cousin Amanda Yuen created an adorable gingerbread house for the Sanrio Yummies contest – and was rightfully named one of the 5 finalists! She made the gingerbread herself, and created cute mascots out of icing sugar and food coloring. Click here to read about how Amanda made the gingerbread house… and please VOTE for her so that she can take home the top prize!

Stay tuned for more info about my third book, Cute Yummy Time, to be released this November by Perigee/Penguin Books USA. Til then, you can get your kawaii food fix on my new blog.

    Hahah actually, the release dates are incredibly FAST in the book world… usually, books come out well over a year after they are announced. In fact, Cute Yummy Time was initially going to come out in 2010…

    In any case, you only have to wait until July for the Theme Restaurants book! :D
