Pallet for Home: Sushi Cake and my Milestone Birthday

Sushi Cake and my Milestone Birthday

Friday, October 19, 2012

Ok. I'm OLD! Really, I was pretty depressed about the whole 40 thing the whole week before my birthday. Luckily I have a great friend who also recently turned 40 who seriously cheered me up! She said she wanted to make my birthday cake for me, so after much pondering I asked for a sushi cake. She's a fabulous cake decorator, you can see a previous cake she made for my daughter here, and I knew she could do it. But she floored me when I walked in and saw her creation. WOW! She also made real sushi with rice and seaweed and everything. I was touched. Let me show you what she made.

The chop sticks are made from fondant. There's a pile of bubble tape ginger, and a ball of frosting wasabi.

Love it!

She also made a huge pile of individual sushi rolls out of rice crispys, fruit by the foot, gummy worms as the centers, and swedish fish for the tops. They were a huge hit with everyone, especially the kids!

The roll was made out of cut up pieces of cake that she colored different colors, then rolled up in a layer of rice crispy treats, then rolled in green fondant. On the end she put some puffed rice cereal to look like real rice.
