Sushi cake as a Blog Birthday present!

Because of Bentown's (by Chaoselfe) 3rd Blog Birthday I thought of what I could make for it. Three years of blogging are really amazing (I hope I will last so long, too) and Chaoselfe is so nice to host a contest in celebration of her blog birthday^^

Finally I decided to try a Sushi cake. So Happy Birthday and thank you for so many good recipes and other blogposts!

Here I go:

Cooking enough Sushi rice, mix it with vinegear mixture and mixed spices for onigiri and prepare some things for the filling. I chose sardines (because I don't like Tuna and in the end I was the one who must eat it *lol*), cucumber and Japanese omelette.

I used a bowl to form the cake. First I put plastic wrap in the bowl and a layer of rice. Then I filled in the sardines which I also mixed up with a bit of Japanese mayonaise^.^

Then another layer of rice, sliced cucumber and the omelette, then fill up with a last layer of rice. Push everything tight enough and then turn the bowl upside-down. Because of the plastic wrap the cake came out smoothly and got a perfect form. Then it looked like this:

As a polite host I also cut the cake for us:

Bon appétit and Happy Birthday! ^o^
