Now that's something you can sink your teeth into...

AnnaTheRed's bento factory is really fabulous website that features bento creations by AnnaTheRed. A lot of her bentos are kyaraben or charaben, or character bentos. Most of the scenes and characters come from parts of Japanese culture, primarily anime. In case you don't know and are wondering, bento is Japanese for lunchbox. All of her boxes are completely edible which means SHE MAKES EVERYTHING OUT OF FOOD. I don't know about anyone else, but I find it incredibly fascinating that someone has the time and patience to carve these intricate shapes out of food and combine them to create edible works of art.

i think the fact that we both did blog entries on bento boxes is proof of how awesome they are...i have never actually made one...although i have made food that looks like stuff...i really enjoyed the link you put up i hadn't seen those ones

Aw those are adorable!! I think i'd feel discouraged--putting all that work into something and making it beautiful just so it can get eaten. =(
