So I can have this cake.
(please cf my FAQ re: whether I'd rather have a chocolate layer cake or a tray of sushi... I NO LONGER HAVE TO CHOOSE.)

About Me
- moonrat
- I'm a recovering editorial assistant. I'm like most of my kind: impoverished coffee-and-gin survivalists, underpaid but ambitious, bitter but hopeful. Painfully self-conscious, woefully self-congratulatory, willfully self-indulgent. Yes, I'm white, but I'm trying to get over it. Accurate spelling (to the dismay of my boss) is not among my interests. So read forgivingly.

Project Fill-in-the-Gaps

Pure. Genius.
Wicked :D
Sweet. Pun not intended.
I've tried my hand at making sushi recently. It's pretty tough to make it look good, but easy to produce something edible California rolls and tuna or salmon nigiri are it so far, but I can make about $80 worth of sushi for $25.
That's the most beautiful thing I ever did see!
Ah, but Confetti Cakes in NYC makes the same cake - she even has instructions for it in her cookbook.

thank you, chelle. you totally just saved me all those moving fees and having to find a new job and stuff.
and also now i'm going to be very, very fat.
WOW. I'm HONgry now.
I dare not make sushi...much less a sushi cake. But YUM!
Reminds me of LAST night's picnic dinner during band concert. After music ended ate ice cream. Perfection.
Rick_Daley: where R U? I'm coming for feast.
OMG, dats a cake!?!?!?!
Fecking Brilliant!
Caorl...Columbus, OH. Come one over. Bring extra wasabi.
That is AWESOME!
See? I knew my home state was amazing. Go, Washington (and sushi... and chocolate..)! Woo hoo!
WOW. Serious cakery!
Not sure how it would sit on top of gin-based beverages but probably not worth worrying about. Onward!
That is stunning.
Rick Daley: Ohio?! The last time I visited that state was for a family reunion at Denison U. We drove. Whole way. Hm...thinking about firing up the RV. How long you think that sushi can wait?
Never mind, I'm heading over to Rebecca Knight's she's closer. Hey Rebecca K, what's for dinner? (And no, I'm not kidding).
OMG. I was thinking about saying "your sushi doesn't look very fresh...." lol I don't think I've seen one like this in Japan! Although we do have sushi key chains...
you could just call Ace of Cakes - Duff :)
Moonrat, come to Seattle so we can do a tasting!
*Note: it just occurred to me that I never found out the flavor of this cake. I sincerely hope it is not sushi-flavored. (vomits in mouth a little bit)
That is too freakin' cool!
Moomone,
You obviously don't believe in catch and release!
Haste yee back ;-)
First Carol--LOL! I'll learn how to make my own sushi, just for you ;).
::: appreciative -- VERY appreciative whistle :::
Wow, that's a beautiful cake. It merges two of my fav things, too -- artistry and design.
Thanks for sharing it, Moonrat!
