Hello! I'm looking for someone who could kindly prepare either a sushi cake or a round-shaped sushi bake for my friend's birthday.

I live in the CBD area and can either pick it up myself if nearby or pay extra for delivery. Ideally, I would need this on the 18th of April. Thanks so much! (Photos from the internet for reference)
