Sandwich Making Workshop+ Step By Step Tutorial (Little Gal Sandwich)

Goodness! I realized I have not been updating my blog for almost 6 months! On and off I did make sandwiches but didn't bring myself to post on the blog. I was also recuperating at home last month . Excuses! Excuses! Excuses! Finally got myself to sit in front of the PC to update my blog. Thanks to the motivation as a trainer for the recent sandwich making workshop. I was so excited to conduct a sandwich making workshop last week. 2 wonderful friends came and helped me with the workshop, if not, I wouldn't be able to cope on my own. I enjoyed myself and the participants had a great time too! I did a Step-By-Step course note for the workshop and now I will share it in this post. Let's take a look at a few pictures of the workshop before I share the course notes for the workshop.

 

 

There were more than 30 participants but my fingers were not fast enough to take picture of all the sandwiches! They all did an amazing job!!! Bravo!!!

 

The Beginning. Nope, I was not going for a vacation. My barang barang for the workshop was so heavy that I had a hard time getting the stuff to the office premises.

Doing the demo.



I was quite happy that the turnout was not 100% ladies.  Who says men cannot make cute sandwiches?My buddy that came all the way to help me with the workshop!!! Feel the love! Don't scold me, buddy...but I don't have the time to edit our picture.

Now the tutorial.....

 

Step By Step Tutorial for Little Girl Sandwich

Tools Needed –

Round Bread Cutting Mold

Seaweed Puncher

Tweezers

Scissors

Toothpick

Butter knife

Ingredients –

2 Slices of Bread (preferably white bread)

Strawberry Jam

Dried Seaweed (Nori)

Mayonnaise

One slice of Cheddar Cheese

Half a slice of White Cheese

Step 1 - Cut out the parts of the drawing as shown.

Step 2 - Spread the jam in the center of bread. Go light on the sides to avoid a ‘bleeding’ sandwich.

Step 3 - Use the round mold and cut the bread.

You should get something like that.

Step 4 - Using a toothpick, trace the outline of the little girl’s hairband on the cheddar cheese (with the plastic covering).

Step 5 - Remove the top of the plastic covering and run over with the toothpick again.

You should get something like that. Place it on the bread.

Step 6 – Place the hair of the little girl over the nori and cut out the shape accordingly.

Step 7 – Punch the expression using the seaweed puncher. Dab some mayonnaise and place the eyes and mouth on the bread as shown.

You are free to express yourself.

You will be able to create different expressions using just one seaweed puncher. Inverted mouth makes a sad expression.



Step 8 - Using a toothpick, trace the hand of the little girl on the white cheese (similar to Step 4&5). 

Step 9 - Place the white cheese on the bread.
Step 10 – Dab some strawberry jam on the cheeks as blusher.
Step 11 – Add a bow or any decorations on the head.

 

 The little girl is supposed to be holding a flag holding the company's logo but I shall not post the picture with the flag here.

Chibi Maruko-chan 樱桃小丸子 Sandwich Tutorial (Level: Moderate)

My kids were staying back today so I had to make them some food to bring along. The kids didn't provide any suggestions for their sandwiches and I was pretty clueless too!

As I was preparing all the snacks for the box last night, I came across a Japanese girl on the pack of marshmallow. And she is Chibi Maruko-Chan. I made the sandwich using the picture on the marshmallow.

I am sure this cartoon character has a name but I really do not know her and the packaging is all in Japanese words! Thanks to a friend,  she solved the mystery for me. Her name is Chibi Maruko-Chan 樱桃小丸子！

Sandwich Tutorial :

Stuff Required:

1. Piece of white paper

2. Round mental ring cutter

3. A pair of scissors

Ingredients :

1. Two slices of bread

2. Bread filling of your choice

3. Red strawberry jam

4. Dried seaweed

5. A slice of cheese

6. Bow foodpick

7. Red candy strip(optional)

STEPS -

Step 1 : Draw a round circle using the metal ring cutter and sketch the girl's face on the paper. 

Step 2 : Cut out the hair on the paper(as shown in picture) using a pair of scissors. Using the cut out 'hair', placed it on top of a piece of seaweed and cut out the shape accordingly. As I was using a small piece of seaweed, I had to join the seaweed together to form the hair. 

Step 3: Cut the cheese with the mental ring cutter.
Step 4 : Place the seaweed to form the hair on the cheese slice.

You can do the same for the eyes but I was lazy to cut the paper so I cut a circle and compare the size against my drawing.

Step 5: Cut out seaweed to form the eyes, eyebrows and mouth. The small white dots in the eyes are formed using cheese. You just need a very thin straw to cut it.

Step 6 : Use some red candy to form the mouth or dap the mouth using strawberry jam.

I only add the blusher (strawberry jam) to the cheese in the morning as I need to keep the cheese covered in the fridge.

The cheese is completed.

Step 7 : Cut the bread(with filling) with the mental ring cutter and place the cheese on top of the sandwich.

The two sandwich set comes with quail eggs, strawberries and a packet of marshmallow.

Sweet Little Girl Wearing a Head Scarf

The kids requested for a cute bunny sandwich again! But I decided against it. I wanted to make something different for my kiddos today. I made a little girl wearing a yellow head scarf. It is like two little girls' sandwich for my two little girls.

It was bread with ham and cheese filling and I used a round ring to cut the yellow cheese to form a head scarf. Added a bow and dried seaweed for the fringe and facial expression and I was done. It was quite simple and didn't take long.

I bought some Easter egg casing in form of a rabbit head from my favorite shop last week. Finally I am using it today with all things rabbit. I have jelly with rabbit stickers, rabbit sauce container and the rabbit egg casing.  

I don't have to think of how to decorate the plain egg anymore. I guess I will be using the egg casing quite often from now on. Must make full use of my purchase, right? Hee…

Really very sweet little girl sandwich, just like my little girls!

Lotsa love!
