CuteZCute Animal Friends Food Deco Cutter and Stamp Kit Frame 3 7/8 x 3 1/8 x 1 1/16 inches

Making a nutritious and enjoyable lunch is my way of showing love to my child even when we can't be together in the middle of the day. I have no artistic ability (you've seen those hilarious pictures of Pinterest fails? Yeah, I'm the type that can't succeed at even simple artistic directions) but I really want to make the cute lunches that I see on the internet. This little cutter makes it possible for even me to look like a supermom. It takes only about an extra minute, and it's really easy to make these cute animal sandwiches. I've also punched out shapes on slices of cheese from the deli. Very cute. So far, I have used whole grain bread and made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and ham and cheese sandwiches. Both types worked great. My favorite animal is the bear because the holes are big enough to show up well and be extra-easy to punch out. The other ones are good too, but they have smaller pieces to deal with than the bear does. Two tips: 1) If you position the cutter toward the far side of the bread, you'll have a nice chunk of sandwich left over after cutting out the animal, so you can include that nice piece also in the lunch instead of wasting the edges (or eating them yourself). 2) The pig's nose has two pieces (nostrils) that have to be stuck on without being connected to the rest of the bread, so they don't stay in place as well. Instead, if you remove the nostrils and leave the main part of the snout on the sandwich (punched out but put back in--it stays in place better since it's in contact with the rest of the bread) it still looks like a pig and doesn't fall apart as easily.

I REALLY, REALLY love this. So there's different ways you can do the face and they're all easy but no matter how you do it, it's less than 2 minutes. Use the hollow punch to go all the way through the sandwich (I used the 2-bread, 2-cheese, 2-meat slice deli method of building the original sandwich). It's not as resistant as other sandwich cutters I have tried. Once your hollow cutter is all the way through to the bottom, flip the entire sandwich over. Every once in awhile you'll find that you missed one of the corners so either flip the sandwich back over and try to press through or just use your finger to press the sandwich against the missing cut without flipping the sandwich back over. Once the sandwich is completely cut, pull off the now-outer ring. If you're doing bento boxes, save the outer ring for decorating something. If you're not going to use it for decorating, use it for your breakfast or give it to your dogs. It is quite a bit of waste unless you use a large slice of bread and manage to get two presses. If you're doing gluten-free bread, though, you know the slices are always small so you lose about half the sandwich. (I prefer the Udi's White Sandwich Bread.) Also, if you use GF bread, you should warm it up a little in advance. Once the outer ring is removed, use the animal of your choice to push the sandwich back out. If you press hard enough, it will make the indentation. Until you are satisfied with the indentation that you end up with, though, don't take away the hollow cutter. You can leave the all or some of the indentations in tact or push through and make cuts in the top piece of bread. You can use the stick to flatten the indentation areas or to decorate the faces. You can remove all or some of the cut pieces of bread. How you want to make it cute is all your own!

I can’t rave about these enough ! They are so fun, easy to use and clean, and best of all ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE ! Sooooso glad I bought these ! My son is obsessed and loves eating them, and I love that it comes with multiple faces and animals to choose from ! Super affordable too. If you’re on the fence about getting this, DO IT ! Both pandas in my photo are Nutella sandwiches, and the frog is a turkey and Mayo sandwich ! The large panda is from another mould I bought and not a part of this package btw !

Very fast delivery. Very good quality! Cut well and very easy to clean! Just perfect size for the bread out of Japan.It makes kids want to eat more. We are very happy with this product. I rated it 4 stars only because the pig face was missing in the pack. But thanks to Amazon's excellent service, we solved it in the same day. Thank you!

EASY and fun. I have tried them all, and this one is so easy. Another person wrote a review about soft bread and squishing it down - that definitely helps, but you don't have to press down really if you have soft enough bread. My older daughter, PICKIEST eater actually ate a HAM SANDWICH just because it was so "adorable." She is 8 and has never tried ham. Ever. I will say the kitty one is a bit odd with that closed eye and I often punch out the whole pig nose and leave the huge hole and it looks like he is laughing so when you punch out the pig nose, keep those little teeny punch outs, the WILL stick to the sandwich below which I would not have expected. The little tool is key. I also realized after day one I didn't have to actually punch the face out on the BACK of the sandwich too. Less work. Probably obvious to most. :)

These are stinking adorable! . Very cute for bento box lunches.Sometimes I get obsessive about making a particular cute lunch, but other days, I just want to throw a healthy lunch together and make it interesting enough to hold my picky boyfriends interest. This set is perfect for both kinds of lunches! I have a crazy supply of materials for making fun lunches. This the one purchase I would recommend to ANYONE. It's perfect for the person wanting to learn to make cute lunches, the super busy that just wants a quick solution to fun lunches and the experienced bento enthusiast looking for something new. For the range of possibilities with this set, the price is amazing too, especially since it is also dishwasher safe. You really can't go wrong with this one.
