The sushi cake is actually composed by some layers of egg-mixed rice, white rice, beef soboro rice and white rice again.
It has done it by laying out a plastic wrap by inner a small bowl, before placing those rice layers. Then wrapped the plastic for a while in keeping up the shape. Later on, I opened the plastic wrap and moved it to the box. Decorated it with kamaboko cuts and corn piece. Side dishes were steamed green squash, kani rolls and sliced kiwi.

Perhaps the choice of box was not correct too :-D oh well, I can try to make this again in future. Before close the lid, I placed a plastic wrap again on top of cake to (at least) maintain the shape until kids open them for lunch.
One of my friend was asking me about making nori eyes and mouth. Well, I use this puncher to help me out. I have so much fun to use it since I can create many facial expressions by mix and match the nori cut-outs.

Last weekend were very exciting. Starting from receiving a package from Michelle for her last month's giveaway and Susan Yuen's book, Hawaii's Bento Box cookbook. Yup, both deliveries should be arrived during second week of this month. However, due to Ramadhan holiday, I assume, all had long holidays, including postal service. What a relieve to finally receive them. Thanks a lot to Michelle for this wonderful stuff! I will have so much fun!

I am not so good in making a review, so I just give a personal opinion that these books are very good.
Hawaii bento box cookbook has very simple designs and recipes which are easy to follow and the book is in spiral-bound!
Just Bento cookbook provides not-kawaii designs and recipes, but looks yummy to eat. It has Japanese and not-so-Japanese bento. I love that this book gives timeline for set up each bento. What a great idea.
The last book is full page of colored designs and steps in bento making. Each page is a jaw-dropping and I am not sure able to copy it. LOL.
Am I very happy now? Definitely...

I think to make the rice cake you'll have to make your rice stickier so they don't crumble when you stack them out.
@ Angeleyes, thanks Alice for the suggestion...will do that in next making :-D
