Faux sushi? Oh heck yeah! I’ve actually tried this sushi candy in the video below, but my end result ended up looking more like a mis-shapen wad of gum. Watch the pro:
If you’re not into the geeky sushi, you can make them out of rice crispies and fruit roll-ups like Mommy Knows. Sugar me out, baby!
From Twinkies and Swedish Fish like Not Martha and more here at Evil Mad Scientist.
The fish here is actually pieces of dried fruit like mango and papaya – from Dabbled
Peepshi = Peeps Sushi on Serious Eats
Sushi Cupcakes made from sprinkles, fondant and butter cream from Not So Humble Pie and a great step-by-step on The Party Animal.
Jellybeans for the “roe”, piece of lemon cake for the “tamago” from Vivian’s Blog-o-Rama
So you ready to start? How to make candy sushi video from Howcast.

If DIY isn’t your thing, you can order a sushi cake from Whipped Bakeshop in Philadelphia.
Let’s take a detour to savory….what do you think this is? Find out on Trissalicious
Or ditch the whole faux sushi idea and just go for the real thing. Real sashimi and sushi on a rice cake. Order from Shime Sushi in Japan.

I’ve seen this before! It sort of bothers me… The context is so wrong.

Hi, I’ve made “candy sushi” before in the form of watermelon caviar. The process might seem complicated at first but is actually very simple. Check out the article I wrote to learn how to make watermelon caviar!

OK, I just looked at the video… and is it me or did it feel a little like “Easy Bake Oven”, except nothing was baked. I think I prefer the twinkie/rice crispie/donut versions, using gummy fish and fruit roll-ups than that strange powdery gelatinous stuff!

Just want to ask, how did the one you tried from the first video taste?
