On this day, we set up hina dolls (hina-ningyo) since they are believed to protect girls from bad luck.This year (2015) was my daughter's 1st Hinamatsuri! The very first celebration is important, when family members hope for growth and happiness for baby girls. My daughter still can't eat anything but I hope she liked this Sushi cake :)Hishi Mochi (diamond shaped rice cake) is usually presented with hina dolls. Hishi Mochi commonly consists of three layers: pink, white, and green, from top to bottom. It is said that pink represents peach flowers, white represents snow, and green represents grass. Those colors have a meaning to get the power of nature. Therefore, I used these three colors for my Sushi Cake :)---------------------------------Sushi Cake for HinamatsuriDifficulty: MediumTime: 20minNumber of servings: 4 people = 15cm (6inch) round cake panIngredients:green/white/pink Sushi rice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRBhl0baHQ8Kinshi Tamago (shredded egg crepe): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRBhl0baHQ8smoked salmoncucumber2 quail eggsNori seaweed sheetIkura (salmon roe)Sakura Denbu (pink colored seasoned shredded codfish)Directions:1.
