Honey Bee

A honey cake for one of the sweetest little bees I know. This was a vanilla almond cake with a honey butter cream frosting. I used an 8'' pan and let the center bake to a mound. Usually I would cut off the mounded top and level the cake off, but for this cake I left it to give the beehive the dome effect. 

To create the beehive,  I first colored a tiny bit of frosting black and frosted a small section of the side of the cake. I then used a number 12 tip and piped a yellow ribbon of frosting in a circular motion all the way up and around the cake. I used the same tip to pipe the bees, I just added a little bit more yellow dye. To complete the bees I piped tiny black stripes and eyes with a number 3 tip. And last but not least I used a number 102 tip for the wings and flowers. 

Happy Birthday Day Natalie!
