Christmas chirashi sushi and inarizushi

For a potluck party

I made a super easy cake for a potluck party two nights ago. Since I am not a good baker, I bought a cheap sponge cake and whipped cream and some ornaments. I just decorated the cake with them. It took about only ten minutes.

The plastic case is collapsible which is good to carry it after eating foods.


This is a makeshift Furoshiki, or a wrapping cloth which I made that night. I didn't have a big enough fabric, so I pieced together with the two fabrics. It turned out cute.

These are also super-easy mini cakes.

I bought a box of Rotte mini-sized Choco-pie , another company's mimi-sized ones, and some edible ornaments. I just decorated them. They tured out cute!

These are cup sushi which I made the other day.

I made sushi rice with Mitsukan Sushsii, or pink colored sushi mix powder.

Cook book with a mini gas burner and the two cocottes

The other day I saw this cooking book for making cream brulees at a book store. It contains a mini gas burner and two ceramic cocottes. I really wanted to get the gas-burner, but was not interesed in the recipes in the book. Therefore, I didn't buy it that day. Afew days later, I again went to the same book store. Then, I found another cook book which contained a silicone doughut mould. I wanted to buy both, but I already had some silicone doughut mould, so I bought the cook book of cream brulees. Arrrrrg! I love collecting cooking gadgets, but I rarely use them.....
