Mom's Birthday Cake + Sushi

It was my mom's birthday yesterday and so I decided to make her a cake and make sushi, instead of going out to eat.

The cake I made was a Korean sponge cake with a stabilized whipped cream frosting. I topped it with a variety of fruits. My mom said she didn't want me to put fruit inside the cake but after eating it I think it would have been better if I added fruit in the middle. I'm pretty impressed with the results. It looks and tastes like a cake you can buy from a Korean bakery!




Now for the sushi...
I made California rolls, shrimp tempura rolls, eel rolls, spicy california rolls, spicy shrimp tempura rolls, and crab crunch rolls. I wish I had a rewind button so I can go back to yesterday and eat all this again. :)


It was a lot of hard work making all this but in the end it was worth it. It was all for the best mom in the world!

XOXO

Chocolate Craving - Molten Lava Cake

Don't you ever have those severe chocolate cravings? Well, tonight I had one. I didn't have any chocolate bars or anything that was prepared to eat so I decided to open my pantry and make these Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes.



Thank you, Betty Crocker! You are a life saver. :)

XOXO,
Yuri
