Most of my friends are obsessed with sushi but I must be crazy coz I REALLY DON’T like it! If we are ever meeting up at a sushi place, I am coming up with the most ridiculous excuses trying to get out of the whole “sushi-eating experience”…lol.
Even though I don’t like the way sushi tastes, I think it looks very pretty and I knew sooner or later, I would be making sushi look-alike cakes. hehe.
So, what do you think? Do they look real?
Clearly, this is my type of sushi…. looks pretty but tastes nothing like the real thing 
I have heard making actual sushi is challenging and requires practice but these sushi cakes are very easy to prepare and they taste darn good!
Here are the steps:
Step 1:
Bake any cake you want. I used my favorite pound cake recipe. Use the medium circle cutter from the Wilton circle cutter set and cut out circles of cake.
Step 2:
Ice the sides of these cakes using a spatula. I used chocolate frosting. You can use any frosting you want.
Step 3:
Roll out green fondant (or black fondant) and cut strips using a pizza cutter.
Step 4:
Wrap these strips around your circular cakes. The icing acts like a glue and holds everything together.
TIP: I have seen some sushi cakes that use green fruit roll up strips instead of fondant. I think that’s very smart. It would save you the hassle of rolling fondant and cutting strips.
Step 5:
Cover the top of your cakes with icing now.
Step 6:
Sprinkle some shredded coconut.
Step 7:
Crush some candy corn and add those pieces in the center of your sushi.
Line them up on a tray and you are done!
Go ahead…make some for yourself and don’t forget to fool someone with these “fake sushis”
