Like the maki sushi, it usually involves "rolling" the rice and nori using a makisu.

Two-Layer Sushi Cake For Celebrations with a Message instructions

The sushi rice: Cook the rice, mix with sushi vinegar while its still hot and set aside to let cool..
Prepare the additional ingredients: Either grill or microwave a piece of salted salmon to cook it through. You can put it in the rice cooker and cook it along with the rice and take it out when both are done if you like..
Mix the eggs and milk together, and make finely scrambled eggs (iri tamago) using just a little oil. You can cook it in a nonstick frying pan without any oil instead..
Using two different sized molds or bowls or cups etc. for the cake, pack with the scrambled eggs → sushi rice → nori seaweed → sushi rice → cooked flaked salmon → sushi rice, in that order..
Invert the two packed molds to form two layers. Place the smaller "cake" on the very edge of the bigger "cake"..
Decorate: Slice the daikon radish thinly, sprinkle with salt and massage it in to tenderize it. Cut a slice for the cake message and leave it to soak for a while in sushi vinegar..
Cut the smoked salmon into 5 to 6 cm pieces. Layer and roll them up into rose shapes. Spread out the outer petals' to make them look extra-voluminous..
Roll the thinly sliced and salted daikon radish to make rosebuds. If the daikon radish is too thick or not squeezed out tightly enough it will be hard to roll!.
Microwave the snow peas, slice in half diagonally and use as "leaves" around the roses..
Make the mashed potatoes. Cook potatoes in the microwave and mash them up. Add salt, mayonnaise, milk, and a tiny bit of butter, and pass the mixture through a sieve..
After passing the mashed potato mixture through a sieve, add some milk so that its the consistency of cream. Put the potato-cream in a piping bag fitted with an icing tip and decorate the cake with it..
Make the "lace" for the cake. Slice the lotus root thinly, cook in the microwave and sprinkle with salt. Put the slices around the cake..
Cut the quail egg face parts out of nori seaweed using scissors or a nori punch (used for bentos). Cut letters out for the daikon radish plaque. If you moisten the surface of the eggs and daikon radish slightly its easier to stick on the nori..
*Add color to the quail egg faces with a little red food coloring dissolved in water or ketchup, using the tip of a toothpick. *I scattered on some salmon caviar too, but I forgot to take a photo of it..
*Use a clear glass plate or a plate thats not white under the sushi cake. The lotus root "lace" will stand out better..

Unlike in Japan, however, these have gone beyond the traditional Japanese maki sushi by changing the filling, adding toppings, finding alternatives to nori, and even flipping it inside out.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, as long as the results taste delicious.
