BYE-BYE TUMMY; HELLO MUMMY




Baby Shower's can be fun, filled with games, rubbing the pregnant mommy's tummy, and CAKE! Celebrating the new chapter in a woman's life as she embarks on her new journey into motherhood can always be fun. A cake shaped like her belly is even more fun!

Congratulations to this mom to be as she embarks on her brand new journey to raising a son.

Bride to Bee

I was asked to make 50 cupcakes for.a bridal shower with the theme "bride to BEE", this is what I came up with. These cute little bumble bees took a while to make, but came out well and are ready for flight.


To make a bumble bee, you require the following tools.
-Yellow, Black, and White fondant
-Tip 3
-Edible Glue
-shaping tool
-knife or pizza cutter

Steps
1. Start by rolling the yellow fondant into an oval.
2. Use the front of tip 3 to cut out the bee's eyes. 
3. Use the back of tip 3 to cut circles for the beeS wings, then combine them together by using a shaping tool.
4. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cute straight lines for the bee's body. Take a pieces of black fondant and shape with your fingers for the stinger. 
5. Apply all pieces will edible glue

After I pre=made these bumblebees, I moved on to decorating my cupcakes. I used a 1A to shape my icing into a beehive.


Since I had to have these picked up, each cupcake got it's own container which I purchased at Creative bag (great store by the way).

Once I was done, I placed a bumble bee on top each hive. 

I packed two sides of a corrugated box with newspaper to keep the containers from moving around. I then tied both boxes together with a strong bow for easy transport.

This is the completed version.


Hope these brought a smile to your day!
