Quoting from the official mouth of the Hostess beast: “Japanese animation, Hello Kitty, samurais, ninjas, and Sushi are really popular right now! Here’s a wild recipe that’s super easy to make and super fun to eat as a light and fruity snack! This recipe transforms the much loved Twinkie into a hip and tropical flavored treat.”
Update: Reader Henry Tero says, “The Twinkie sushi was created by Clare Crespo, (yummyfun.com, bad Flash warning) a CalArts grad food artist who has written two whimsical books on cupcakes and other food art. She deserves the credit for such beautiful work! She’s created such wonders as: The Jello aquarium, a roast turkey with three legs, and here’s an interview with Clare which features more sushi cupcakes.”
Holy crap, that Jello-aquarium is lovely.
