YouTube personality and baker My Cupcake Addiction put together a visually stunning bento box of sushi that is creatively sweet and made from different cake pop flavors. The desserts are decorated to look like pieces of sushi with a similar presentation style and by substituting savory ingredients for sweet alternatives, such as candy and chocolate.
Sushi is a popular Japanese meal that is often made with rice, raw fish and vegetables. The symmetrical presentation style is mimicked in My Cupcake Addiction's dessert sushi that is made with Oreos and liquorice that act as the black seaweed, whipped cream and coconut that act as the rice and gummy candies that replicate the aesthetic of raw fish and chopped veggies. The dessert sushi offers a unique flavor profile that creatively subverts the traditional savory version.
