Rice Bowl

This is for a friend celebrating her birthday.  I didn't think twice about making her a cake that is related to rice.... she loves rice!!  I think she's not happy if her meal didn't include rice.  Anyway, at first I was torn between making a rice cooker or a rice bowl. But as you can see the rice bowl prevailed. :)

Cake is red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and vanilla buttercream frosting for the bottom part of the cake. To make the rice effect, I used a cheese grater with the fondant.  I was worried that it won't give me the rice effect but was so happy that it did.  A fun cake to make.
