Notes
Make sure the layers are spread out evenly all the way to the edges. It helps the sushi cake to stay in shape after the mold (pan) is removed.
Press down each layer firmly. Pack down the ingredients layer by layer, rather than at the end. This helps all ingredients to fit in nicely, as well as stay in place.
