When I put a call-out for shaped bread suggestions, a friend suggested that I make giraffe shaped bread. I was up for the challenge. When I told my Mom about it she suggested that I make a Mom and baby. My baby did not turn out as small as I would have wanted but I still think it is cute. During the process of making this lunch I remembered that I had mini giraffe cutters. Thanks to my cookie cutter collection, I was able to make giraffe shaped carrots.
Container: EasyLunchBoxes
Giraffes: The Mom and young giraffe are made from homemade french bread dough, with food marker details (after baking), background and vegetation in front (snow peas), cheddar cheese

Lovely giraffes, how many different cookie cutter in your collection, such so cute! 🙂
Thank you! I am not sure of the number but it keeps growing. I am considering making a post of my entire collection but trying to find a way to make it interesting. This post https://eclecticlamb.com/2013/02/13/stitched-valentines-day-cards/ includes my Heart/Valentine cutters I had last year.
They are lovely heart shapes!
Simply wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Very clever! How does anyone bring themselves to eat these? They’re too cute!
Thank you so much! The meal I had the most trouble eating because I loved it so much was the Charlie Brown and Lucy meal. https://eclecticlamb.com/2013/11/26/charlie-brown-and-lucy-bento/
