Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Yellow and black gel-paste food coloring
  • 1 ounce marzipan or almond paste, halved
  • 1/4 cup blanched sliced almonds, toasted

Directions

Add yellow gel paste to 1 portion marzipan and black gel paste to the other. Knead each to incorporate.

Roll each portion into a 1/8-inch-diameter rope. Cut each rope crosswise into 1/8-inch slices.

Stack 5 slices together horizontally, flat sides facing, alternating colors, starting and ending with yellow. Press together gently. For the head, roll a yellow slice into a ball, and press onto body. For the eyes, roll 2 bits of black marzipan into balls; press onto head. For the stinger, shape the tail piece into a slight point. For the wings, press a sliced almond into each side of bee. Repeat. Use immediately.

                The cake stand looks like it could be milk glass. It's rather difficult to see it very well.
                
                I think the cake is cute as well, and if the price for the pan ever comes down, I might be tempted to buy one. I have probably 45 or more decorative bundt cake pans already, but I don't like the idea of paying $30.00 or more for a pan.
