Yes, this is my latest cake...a sushi cake!! I made it today for my brother in law's b-day tomorrow!! I had more grand plans for the base (it was supposed to be not as thick, and then with legs), but I was in a time crunch!! I LOVE how this came out...totally awesome! It's ALL made of fondant, cake and rice crispy treats (well, except the chop stick...which I wanted to make out of fondant, but I didn't have time for it to set up and harden, so my sweet husband ran over to the closest Chinese restaurant and grabbed them for me!) I'm loving the new buttercream frosting as it is giving me a nice base for the fondant. I rolled all the little rice out of fondant...even the wasabi is fondant! It was soo fun to make. AND, I just got back from delivering it to my brother in law and he LOVED it! So, that made me soo happy!! Fun times! This is my last cake for a bit...mama is tired...and I'm sure my husband needs me out front helping him dig ditches for our fence!! :)
The wood grain effect is from mixing vodka with brown food coloring. When it dries, the vodka evaporates. Also, I rolled brown and white fondant together and when I rolled it, it made a little of that wood feel in the fondant itself. A fun effect!! :)

I had sushi last night, tasted like marshmallows and heaven; now my order of sushi is down to 6 pieces. I made 50 dollars off dad when he didn't believe I could eat straight wasabi, kidding ;-) You rock Jess, but, good work on the chopsticks!!!
