How to make Bento Cake | Lunchbox Cake Tutorial

Korean-inspired bento or lunchbox cakes are miniature cakes, around 3-4 inches in diameter that fit neatly inside takeout boxes. They are great for mini celebrations, little gifts for friends, or just because 🌈 There are so many options for these mini cakes and if you're good at piping letters, you can even write a little message on top! Use all types of cake and frosting combinations, from whipped cream and buttercreams with different flavor of cakes.

What I found what works in doing these little cakes is to put a dowel or bubble straw down the middle that you can hold on too which makes moving it around that much easier.

I highly recommend using a 4" round steamer parchment liner to transfer your cakes for the crumb coat. I recently made a bunch of your lunchbox cakes for my office and that hack came in CLUTCH.

These are beautiful! I love this trend of lunchbox cakes. I think you made yours unique by going for a very pretty pastel palette, I hadn't seen that done yet! :) thanks for sharing your cakes with us

[sara-jnqz]

love this video! really helpful and the cakes look amazing <3

[amezvel]

Would it be wise to use two halves of the round cut out as the base? Just to minimize the amount of cake left to be turned into cakesicles ?

I’ve tried baking these before and used sponge cake, the batter was perfect the only problem is I don’t know which frosting/cream to use so that it doesn’t taste too sweet or too buttery and so that the texture is good
