The 'Kotaku' Hello Kitty Toast is Shaped Out of Foil

— May 22, 2012 — Lifestyle
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not spice things up with some adorable Hello Kitty toast by the 'Kotaku' blog?

Toast art has been around for quite some time now, but has made a comeback after a North American resurgence of interest in Japanese culture. Instead of running out and buying an expensive fancy toaster, you can actually make the designs yourself. The secret is tin-foil; simply cut out the shapes you want and place them on the pieces of toast, and then pop it in the toaster oven.

This easy-to-do project is ideal for the artistic folks who love to play with their food. You can create famous characters such as Hello Kitty or Pokemon, or you can let your imagination run wild. Not to mention that this would be a great idea to use if you have kids that are fussy eaters, as it is visually appealing.
Trend Themes
1. Breakfast Art - Creating visually appealing designs on breakfast foods using simple techniques such as cut-out shapes and foil.
2. DIY Food Decor - Encouraging individuals to explore their creativity and experiment with food decoration using easily available materials.
3. Pop Culture Food Trends - Capitalizing on the resurgence of interest in Japanese culture through the creation of themed food designs.
Industry Implications

2. Kitchen Appliances - Opportunity to develop specialized toasters or toaster ovens with customizable design features to meet the demand for creative food art.
3. Art and Craft Supplies - Art supply companies can cater to the growing trend by offering food-safe materials and tools specifically for creating edible art.
