How to Make a Sushi Cake

Surprise a sushi lover: Make a dessert that looks like a giant salmon roll! Here's how.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; divide the batter between the pans and bake as directed. Let cool 15 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

Trim the domed tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level. Spread frosting on one cake layer, then invert the other layer on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting around the outside of the cake and on top. Reserve 1/4 cup frosting for the wasabi.

Melt the candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Add the cereal and stir.
