Last day of sushi! Today I made a Sushi Cake. At first I was a bit suspect of making a cake of sushi but it turned out pretty good. It was about 12 steps and took a bit of time but by now I was used to these steps.
One of the many steps was to make carrot flowers. I watched the video of the woman making her flowers and she used a tiny cookie cutter. I do not have a tiny cookie cutter so I had to free hand cut carrots. They ended up being very new age flowers.
The sushi cake includes sushi rice, black rice, tofu scramble, and veggies. I did not have a sushi cake bowl so I used a vase to make the cake. I did not have lotus root so I used water chestnuts. I could not find beet juice but I found a child's juice that had beet juice in it and used that to dye the water chestnuts pale pink. I found that the ability to improvise is helping me get through this cooking course.
The sushi cake turned out pretty good and tastes really great.
It is Groundhog Day and I hear he saw his shadow so there will be six weeks more winter. Okay. Great.
Until tomorrow...
