Food Too Cute to Eat

Last week, my Mom forwarded us an email with all these incredibly detailed, adorable food photos. The boys insisted sharing these with you! The email was one of those viral emails that was forwarded thousands of times, and we have no idea who originally compiled them. While I track down the original sources to credit, please enjoy!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas, my friends!

  11. Just toooo adorable! My favorite is “Sleepy rice teddy dreaming under the cozy egg blankie.” Thank you for sharing. And thank you for all of the hard work you put into making Steamy Kitchen the amazing site that it is!

    When I used to be active on Twitter, you were always very kind. It’s still hard to believe that you took the time to “talk” with me.

    Wishing you and your family the happiest of holidays and the very best in the new year!

  14. Those are so Japanese!! I can remember going to the Y100 store and seeing all the bento boxes. I wish I’d bought more than I did! Then I’d go to Off House and look at the bento box ‘cookbooks’ they had for sale. The concept of spending that much time making a lunch was beyond me, but they sure looked like fun to eat!
