Box full of adorable Totoro

Are you a fan of animaes by Miyazaki?

M is a super keen fan and since it was her birthday, decided to present her with her very special box full of Totoros.

Used a basic cookie recipe, and cut out all the characters by hand using a template. Took me much longer to bake these but am glad with the results, even more with the glowing & appreciative smile from M.

She didn’t know what to do with them – admire them or which to eat first! Hahaha


If you are a Totoro fan, here are more pictures of them.

Let's start from the basic.
Totoro is the ‘spirit of the forest’.


In the movie My Neighbour Totoro, there is a scene when one of the younger sister Mei spies upon a Chu-Totoro (Blue medium Totoro) and Chibi-Totoro (White little Totoro).



All the characters.


How many Totoros do you see?



5 you say. Are you sure???




Joined by Chu-Totoro



Enough Totoros for you??

Not for M - she literally went ga-ga over them!! hehe

The 3 sizes of Totoro.
Which ones to eat first - decision, decisions, decisions!!!



Totoro joined by Makkuro Kurosuke (Black Dust bunnies or soot mite). In the movie, they are little black fuzzy things, about the size of a golf ball and lurk in dark and unused spaces.


Notforgetting the plush Neko-Basu (Cat bus).
Literally, a bus which looks like a cat (or a cat who works as a bus). In the movie, the cat bus carried Mei and Satsuki to see their mother at a hospital located far away.


Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

So are you a fan yet??? ;)




Found this on youtube.

now, I AM ! looks simple and pretty but I'd think handling the dough will be tricky ?

Emily - these baking shops do not open on Sunday leh. They open Saturday except public holidays so do take note ya.

Can get your baking supplies/ware at Taman Megah (Bake with Yen or Chang Tung) or HOI (No.3 Jalan Gangsa, SD 5/3E PJU 9, Bandar Sri Damansara).

Bake with Yen @ Puchong outlet much bigger than Taman Megah so maybe can visit your dear one and shop there??

Drop cookies are my favourite kind (easy mah) :) Since CNY around corner maybe can consider cookies :) hehe. Bread baking is fun too - depends if you & hubs like soft type or chewey-rustic breads. My family unfortunately prefers the soft type.
