Louis' Birthday

Fun times over the labor day weekend.  My mother baked the cake ("funfetti," as requested by the birthday boy), I decorated it.  I manufactured a fair amount of fondant, then set to work making sushi "cakes" with a wad of fondant hand-shaped into an oversized rice cake.  I rolled the cakes in chopped up marshmallows (to simulate the rice), then topped them with colored bits of fondant made to simulate salmon, tuna, egg, and fish eggs.  The seaweed wraps were of fondant as well.  I set actual chopsticks on the cake and added a little plastic cup with chocolate syrup to simulate soy sauce.  And yes, the wasabi and pickled ginger were made of fondant as well.  Louis was pleased.  That's what I always aim for.
