Auspicious Salmon Yu Sheng (发财鱼生)

Peel & wash carrots & radish. Shred them & set aside. Line cake base with radish & nutmeg by rolling the vegetables. I started decorating with the left side first to help me gauge how big the character is gonna be. Then I worked on the word using the radish.

When the word is completed, lined the background with carrots & finish the other side with nutmeg & radish.

Next, line a row at the top with chopped peanuts.

Lined the base of the word with a row of sesame seeds, then another row with red ginger & orange peel. Complete it with Jellyfish.

Roll salmon into roses & add to the four sides of the board.

Surround the portrait with crackers. Use red ginger to form the strings & add the lime to act as a “thumb tack” for hanging the prosperity portrait!
