1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all your sushi cake components: sushi rice, nori sheets, your favorite fillings (like avocado, cucumber, and smoked salmon), sesame seeds, and a trusty sushi mat. Get them all together like a group photo before the party.

2

Layer the Sushi Rice

Place your sushi mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay down a nori sheet, and lightly wet your hands (it's time to get hands-on!). Scoop a generous amount of sushi rice onto the nori, and spread it out evenly using your fingertips. Patience is key here, just like waiting for that perfect sushi delivery.

3

Let the Filling Begin

Now it's time to unleash your creativity! Layer your favorite fillings on top of the sushi rice. Think of it like creating a sushi skyscraper – stack 'em high! Remember, the more, the merrier. Make it colorful and vibrant, like a Picasso painting...of sushi.

4

Seal the Deal

It's time to roll up your sleeves (and that sushi cake)! Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi like a burrito. Apply gentle pressure to keep everything together. Once your masterpiece is rolled, fold the edges of the nori inward and use a little water to seal the deal.

5

Sprinkle Some Magic

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of your sushi cake for that extra touch of flavor and visual pizzazz. Your sushi cake is like a gourmet work of art, and sesame seeds are your edible glitter. So go ahead, make it rain!

6

Chill and Slice

Pop your sushi cake into the fridge to let it chill and set for about 30 minutes. This will help everything hold together nicely. Once chilled, remove it from the fridge and carefully slice your masterpiece into beautiful sushi cake slices. Voila! It's time to dig in and enjoy!
