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!
Happy Baking
