Bento - Cutting the bread
A while back Stephanie has asked about how much bread is wasted after cutting it out in the shapes I want. Then recently my sister commented in FB saying it must be wasting a lot of bread when I cut the shapes out. And now the answer - depends on the shapes I am cutting.
The cutter I use is very small - one bite size for toddler. Here below is a piece of bread which I used to cut out some star shapes pieces. I am able to get 16 stars (the most) using 1 piece of bread. Sometimes the shape of the bread will affect the number of pieces I get out of it too.

Here is a piece I cut using the teddy bear shape cutter. I will get 18 pieces out of one piece of bread if I cut it carefully.

I spread the jam/peanut butter after I cut them. The scrap pieces of bread, I usually throw away. Sometimes I will eat those center pieces myself.
