While sushi is normally considered a savory delicacy, Brit & Co. shows you how to create these adorable and cleverly disguised sushi cupcakes. Using ordinary baking and decorating ingredients, you can transform plain old vanilla cupcakes into some far East-inspired confections.
So how do you create the illusion of rice and seaweed without things getting too fishy?
