Sushi Cake

I was making a spice cake with cream cheese frosting for my dad's birthday. But what do you do with cream cheese frosting, it's not something you can decorate with. I remembered seeing a sushi cake, it was going to be perfect, since we were taking him to Shogun, a teppanyaki place, for dinner.

It was really fun to do, and so simple. The cup has a silicon cupcake cup, cut short, with corn syrup and black food coloring. We bought the chopsticks at World Market. The rest was fondant and rice crispy treats. If I had more time, I would have made a cool bamboo looking border for the bottom of the cake, but time was very limited.
