Simple Chocolate Cupcakes and 12 Hen's Bento

Couple days ago, some of my child's friends gathered at my house. I invited them to have a lunch at my house. The kids can play with their friends, and the mothers can chatted with others. At the first, I planed to prepare all the food by my self, but mothers of my son's friends asked me to make a bento for the kids. I didn't need bothering my self to prepare food for the mothers, I only need to prepare the bento for the kids. And they will prepare the food for the mothers. Oh...my, twelve bentos.... could I do it?. I never made a lot of bento before, I always made one or sometime two bentos for my kids, not twelve bentos. So, i planed to make the simplest design but it still looks cute. 

One day before, I made cupcakes for the side dish of the party. I didn't need a long time to make these cupcakes. It's quietly very simple and easy to make.
