      Oh my god! You'll bring some to the next meetup won't you.. please, please, please :)

      No, not marzipan (although that would be a neat idea). It's...sort of a cookie, I guess? Baked, he is. Lemony on the inside. I wanted to make him with a fondant coating but fondant (and marzipan too) is too prohibitively priced for me to play with like this.

      Haha, Neil, if the next batch turns out I'll see if I can transport some on Monday.

      Yum, I hope they don't scream too much when you eat them.

      Wonderful! I would never have the heart to eat him, though.

      yummy totoro! can't wait to see the other prototypes, though this one looks just perfect!

      I love him. I am so hungry and want to eat him.
      The house in "Tonari no totoro" is built at the international exhibition in Nagoya. I am looking forward to see it.

      looks tasty, did he survived it? ;-)

      It's adorable. What is this a prototype for?

    13. hundrednorth (88 months ago | reply)

      Thanks, all. You can each have one :)

      Nintoto, this is a prototype for...nothing, really. I had the idea of making one of these into totoros whilst we were baking a batch of regular cookies for a dinner thing. Ever since I made a totoro cake for a friend last year I've been hatching ideas for other edible totoros. This is just a prototype for a mighty army of perfect, edible totoros that I plan to have someday...

      I was wondering about the 'prototype'... if I could buy these somewhere. You must have had some professional confectionery training? They're incredible.

      Incredible and delicious!

    17. hundrednorth (88 months ago | reply)

      Glad you like 'em, everyone :)

      brevity: no, I have not had professional training (hmm might not be a bad idea though). Just a few years of experimentation and hobbying :)
