Bumble Bee Cake recipe and guide
Bake a dome and a small cylinder from two packet mixes. The dome is the body and the cylinder sits against it as the head. Ice the body yellow and the head black, lay liquorice stripes, add the edible details, then stand the paper wings in on skewers.
Decorating your Bumble Bee Cake
Easy stripes
Liquorice straps make neat black stripes without piping.
Antennae
Two wooden skewers with yellow pompoms on the ends make perfect antennae. Take them out before serving.
Garden touches
Yellow lollies and a few flower-shaped biscuits around the board make a sweet garden scene.

Bumble Bee Cake FAQs
Is it good for a first birthday?
It's a classic first bee-day cake, small and sweet.

Liquorice straps laid across the yellow icing.
How many does it serve?
About 24 serves from two packet mixes (based on 12 serves per packet mix, depending on how generous your slices are).
Can I make a pink bee?
Absolutely. Pink and black or pastel stripes look lovely.
Is everything edible?
The face and details are edible paper. The wings are paper and the skewers aren't edible, so remove them before serving.
