Sounds fun, doesn’t it?! When I was searching the web for sushi cake tutorials, I stumbled upon yet another awesome video by the most-incredible Denise Cold. I think it is safe to say that Denise “invented” the Chapstick sushi! What a fabulous idea. If you haven’t seen these, basically you create a long, skinny sushi cake and then slide it into a chapstick container. Then, you are able to use the paint itself as the applicator to create small, round imprints for things like bubbles, gems, etc, without the need for a dauber or brush. Just pop the cap off, mist with water, and press against the skin! No messy sponges to clean afterward. I think the idea is ingenious.
Rather than just hogging the fun to myself, I took the liberty of placing a large order of these empty chapstick containers to make available to YOU in my shop for just $1.00 each!! So stop on by the shop to pick up your Chapstick tubes, and be sure to check out Denise’s great video for a step-by-step tutorial on how to make them. Here are a few photos of my first attempt….I think it’ll take a few tries to really get the size and method down, but these still turned out great!

(next you spear it with a toothpick or bamboo skewer, and freeze until it hardens enough to put in the tube)
I don’t think I let mine freeze long enough, but eventually got it all in there.

Just mist…
…press…twist…
…and you have some cool red gems! Maybe I’ll try adding gold around the edges like I did in my red gem sushi cake.
