1

Prepare the Rice Base

Start by cooking sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread the rice evenly on a large platter or a round pan to create the base of your sushi cake.

2

Layer on the Fillings

Now it's time to let your creativity shine! Select your favorite sushi fillings, such as sliced avocado, cucumber, crab sticks, or smoked salmon. Arrange them in a layer on top of the rice base. Feel free to mix and match to your heart's content!

3

Add Another Rice Layer

To create a sturdy cake structure, add another layer of cooked sushi rice on top of the fillings. Press it down gently to ensure everything sticks together nicely.

4

Decorate with Sushi Toppings

Now comes the fun part - let's make it visually stunning! Arrange colorful toppings like sesame seeds, thinly sliced radishes, chopped green onions, or tobiko (fish roe) on top of your sushi cake. Get creative with patterns and designs!

5

Refrigerate and Set

Once your masterpiece is complete, cover the sushi cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour. This will help the flavors meld together and ensure easy slicing.

6

Slice and Serve

After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and carefully slice the sushi cake into wedges or squares, just like you would with a regular cake. Serve it with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for that authentic sushi experience!
