While I was shopping in mall, I found cute sweets miniatures in stationery store. And I heard the word from people in the store. It was "deco-ru". It means "decorating on anything you like" in Japanese. The miniatures in the store looked so real and yummy...I wished I could eat..yum yum yum..(I didn't eat lunch yet then).
I wished I can make them by myself. So, I went to a bookstore for finding howto book of making clay sweets "deco". According to the book, people actually decorate their phone, bag, desk, light stand, notebook etc as sweets like cake, ice cream..(lots of whip cream).
Your Cell Phone will be a chocolate bar or something..You want to try?!

In this economy crisis, making "bento / lunch" (lunch in a food container called "bento box") is trend in Japan. Not only making bento but also decorating food as anime characters like hello kitty, disney characters etc...There are tons of bento gadgets like egg shaper, onigiri mold, food cutters etc to make cute shapes like your kids love.
Here is list of bento blogs to get ideas!!
