| Sushi? Guess again. |
At first glance, one would think these are savory sushi and maki pieces. But look a little more closely and you'll find these are actually sweet cakes.

| My Pink Wasabi Kashi Makis |
Known as Kashi Makis, these hand rolled cakes are decorated and made to look like pieces of sushi and maki. In a world now dominated by cupcakes, it's quite refreshing to see a totally different take on the ever present cake. Turning them into these ingenious creations are what adds to their appeal.
A 15 piece tray of My Pink Wasabi's Kashi Makis (Php390) contains an assortment of various cake types.
One of my personal favorites is the the Ooolong Berry -- an almond cake wrapped in white chocolate strawberry ganache and topped with strawberry-flavored roe/jelly.

Another fave is the Midnight Mint -- a chocolate cake filled with dark mint chocolate ganache and topped with a minty roe/jelly. Yummy!

Don't you just love a really cool dessert concept? J
P.S. A word of advice. Try to eat them fresh. As like all other cakes, they tend to lose their moistness over long periods in the fridge.

Cool desserts indeed. As they say, eating starts with the eyes and the nose (figuratively of course) Presentation and aroma are like teasers.
