Cupcake Bento Box

My nieces love sushi and sometimes they order a bento box - which started me thinking "what exactly is a bento box?"  So I looked it up.  A bento box is a single-portion take-out or home-cooked meal in Japanese cuisine.  Bento means "convenience" and it is common for items to be arranged to look like people, characters or animals.  This is a cupcake blog...hence the cupcake bento box.
