Dessert Sushi... who knew?

Dessert Sushi... so I found a little recipie that looked pretty cute for little cakes that looked like sushi rolls. And with a family Christmas gathering that included dessert around the corner, we thought we'd give it a whirl. Pound cake... check... coconut, check... frosting, check... purple fruit rolls ups... unchecked. Going to the store I found the fruit rolls ups, but also discovered that they don't come in classic flavors or colors anymore. Who knew our classic fruit rolls ups are now tie-dyed in color and flavor? And who knew that it would take a little time and trips to various stores to find a regular purple roll up? (while I say various... it's was only 3, as that's all we have in this town is 3 stores that would carry it). So I've gathered the ingredients and we get to work... found a cap from my oil pump to work to cut out the right size circle. Our 3 year old also discovered fruit rolls ups and says she's a fan. Overall when all was done, they actually turned out ok. A picture to come soon. Sprinkles for fish eggs, swedish fish for sashimi. Fun... a big messy fun, but fun. Who knew that a little time and effort could make for a fun dessert. And who knew that if you leave them out for too long, fruit rolls ups turn squishy and sticky. Not a good combination!
