Bear in mind that these amazing creations are all just cupcakes.
I can’t eat raw sushi, but I wish I could. Instead, I have to indulge my fish cravings with LEGO, costumes and any other inedible forms of sushi.
These sushi cupcakes have the color and excitement of their freshly-caught counterparts, but are far more stomach-friendly since they are stuffed full of sugar and spice and all things nice rather than raw fish.
