All you need to do is shape brown rice into little balls using plastic wrap or just your hands, cut out round shapes from cheese slices and cut out the nose and eyes from seaweed. Cut a piece of ham cut in a shape of a bow for Shellie May.

The charm of this lemon toast lies in it's simplicity! Decide where you want to place the lemon slices first and cut out the edges so it fits on the toast perfectly. Then, remove the lemon slices and spread a layer of cream cheese before placing the lemon slices back on it.

Add some basil leaves for the finishing touch!

These kawaii cherry toasts have been trending among Instagrammers in Japan for a while and there's no time like circuit breaker to try making it!

It's incredibly easy to make! The cherry shape is basically made out of a cherry tomato cut in two and any vegetable or herb with a stem and a leaf. You can also have ham and cheese as a base for the "cherry".

This is probably the easiest and fastest food arrangement to make. You can create a cute bear face on your ice cream using just chocolate chips and any button or balls of white chocolate. Use a pair of chopsticks for the best precision!
