This week we are featuring a grooms cake we made to highlight the groom's love of sushi. First we made a rectangular cake to look like the trays that sushi is served on at the restaurants. We rolled out white fondant to cover the entire cake. To create the wood grain effect, we used a light brown color and a paint brush to apply the color. The bristles of the brush resembled the imperfections of a wood grain. As the sushi tray was drying, we started on hand-rolling all the sushi. We took out fondant and started out with some dark green seaweed, dark red tuna, light salmon, white rice and orange roe. Once we had all the components ready, we rolled them together to create a mouth-watering display of sushi. We finished it off with a pair of chopsticks, some soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger. The cake looked fantastic and delicious.
Join us next week for another fun cake adventure. Until then, come visit Victoria or myself in Centreville or Manassas and have a brand new cake pop on us (through Friday, July 1). Remember to enjoy the beautiful weather and don't forget to pick up dessert for your 4th of July picnics. Parfait bowls, strawberry pies, cupcakes and strawberry shortcakes are perfect for your BBQs!
