Sweet Sushi

I saw this idea in Family Fun magazine and we had fun with it (although my didn't turn out half as cute as theirs)!Cake (i used a box cake but I think pound cake would work better at least for decorating and then you could cut the slices thinner since the cake mix was a little tall for the fruit leather)
white frosting
sweetened coconut
fruit leather
fruit snacks or other "fishy" things to put as the inside of the sushi

Cut circles from cake about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Frost the top with frosting and then wrap a fruit leather around (i cut my fruit leather in half lengthwise and then those two pieces covered the whole circle). I used fishing line to help hold it in place and then before we ate them if you snip it off they stay put. Sprinkle coconut on the top and garnish to make fish insides. They even went a step further in the magazine to use a green and red starbursts to make wasabi and ginger. You just heat them up and shape the green one into a ball for wasabi and flatten the red one out and then shape into pickled ginger that they usually serve with sushi.
