Here is my version of the internet’s famous lunch box cake!
What is Lunch box cake?
Lunchbox cakes have become a popular baking trend on social media recently, thanks to their visually appealing presentation and adorable, bite-sized portions that can fit in a small to-go box. They make for an ideal choice for any occasion due to their compact size and ease of preparation.
In this recipe, I am customizing a Kuromi lunchbox cake as my friend is a huge fan of the Sanrio character.
