To celebrate World Sushi Day 2024, Michelle, in collaboration with Yutaka, has unveiled a stunning collection of edible portrait sculptures of British celebrities and TV personalities, all made from sushi ingredients.

She dedicated approximately 120 hours to sculpt these portraits using sushi rice, konbu, seaweed, roe, and soy sauce for colouring. Her impressive creations include: (excuse the pun):



  • Singer-songwriters: Eelton John and Edamame Sheeran
  • Footballers: Bukayo Saké and Herring Kane
  • This Morning hosts: Alison Salmond and Dermot Roe’Leary
  • British TV host Lorraine Kelpy, made from dash konbu and fukujinzuke
  • Academy Awards winner actor: Benedict Cucumberbatch


These remarkable artworks were exhibited in a London gallery as part of the #SushiMe campaign by Yutaka - one of the leading brands of Japanese food ingredients in the UK, inviting Brits to get creative with their food by make their own sushi self-portraits.

Prince William & Kate Middleton Royal Wedding Cake

I use this ideal home show cake competition as a great opportunitiy to do something different, other than the usual decorated round tiered cake people normally expect for a classic tiered wedding cake. It was really a challenge for me to do this cake. It's a hard work, but I really enjoyed making it. Prince William and Kate Middleton cake is made of traditional english fruit cake, carved into 3D busts with an armature inside, covered with apricot jam. The icing was sculpted with details and then airbrushed with colours to make it look more realistic. It took about 80 hours to make and I uses more than 10kgs marzipan and 10kg Icing sugar. You can see this cake at the " Ideal Food-Ideal Cake Decorato r" section at the Ideal Home Show March 11th -  27th   2011 Earls Court London. I hope I see you there!
