CUTE YUMMY TIME: KAWAII COOKING VIDEOS. SHAPED BENTO EGG MOLDS, ANIMAL PANCAKES.
2009 is shaping up into hearts and stars for La Carmina and Basil Farrow. The blog has migrated from a patched-up platform to the equivalent of Versailles, and you’ll be reaping the benefits. On the horizon: more DIY projects, pro photos, videos…
…beginning with these cooking demos! Every day, I’ve been cooking and photographing cute food, writing up the story, and making kawaii drawings on Illustrator. I’m bursting to show you Cute Yummy Time (that’s the official title) – but patience! You’ll have to wait until it’s released in November 2009 by Perigee/Penguin Books USA.
Here’s a sneak peek… in this video, I demonstrate how to make adorabe buckwheat and berry pancakes shaped like elephants. Kawaii! Soundtrack: Schwarz Stein – New Vogue Children; And One – Military Fashion Show; Velvet Eden – Hamono no Koi
Here, Basil Farrow and I show you how to make cute heart and star-shaped hardboiled eggs… using bento molds from Japan! Who would have thought of that? Halfway though the video, my kitty steals the show.
Soundtrack: Aural Vampire – Preservative Woman; Malice Mizer – Madrigal
You’ll see much more in our upcoming recipe book, Cute Yummy Time. And you’ll only have to wait until July to get a copy of Wild, Crazy Theme Restaurants (my upcoming book with Mark Batty Publisher).
Song of the Day #25: my video soundtracks (listed above)!

Glad to have you back! I've even delurked to celebrate the occasion :)
It looks like for a brief period of time your older blog was even hacked! Great that you've managed get over that.
Keep the updates coming!
Awww thanks, Olga! It was so sweet of everyone to check in with me when they noticed the… snafu. Basically, while I was moving things over, I must have left the door open… and someone decided to come in. It didn't matter, anyway, as I was abandoning the old URL.
More to come!
Haha, hackers hooked on Loli fashion! They need to work on their manners :)
URL change is such a pain! Hope your site doesn't lose its Google rankings.
I always say WordPress is so much better! You should check all the plugins available (the cyberspace equivalents of Versailles Salons) :) Many are very useful!
Much luck with the book!
Ahaha I'm versed in SEO (search engine optimization)… All of my old posts redirect to their corresponding place in the new blog, so there should be very few 404 errors. Let me know if you find any glitches and I'll straighten them out. ;)
