![]() I made the flowers for the top and border using 3 sizes of a flower cutter and attached them. I covered the cake with the fondant and trimmed it to size. I used that roller a few times to make the pattern less distinct. I rolled out the green fondant to fit the cake then used a decorative roller to create a texture. I brushed the wings with the vanilla and attached them to the top of each ball. To attach the wings, I rolled tiny balls (the size of the tip of the wing) of the reserved yellow fondant and attached the balls to the bodies, brushing them with vanilla extract. I attached the strips to the bodies by brushing the strips with vanilla extract then placing them. When the bodies were dry, I rolled out the black fondant very thinly and cut it into narrow strips. I placed the bodies on parchment to dry, turning them every day to dry evenly. I lightly squeezed the fondant to make a neck, forming a head and a body, then squeezed out a section to make the stinger. To make the bodies, I pinched off a piece of yellow fondant and shaped it into a cylinder. I saved a portion of the yellow fondant to attach the wings once all the parts were dry. To make the bees, I cut out the wings using the exclamation point from an alphabet cutter set and set those aside to dry. The fondant was rolled thicker than usual (at least a quarter of an inch thick) to prevent it from tearing.Īfter the hive was covered, I used the veining tool to mark lines around the hive and the entrance, then painted the lines to make them stand out. I covered the egg with piping gel and then with fondant, wrapping the fondant around the bottom edge of the hive. I cut a piece of cardboard to fit the bottom opening. ![]() To make the hive, I used the top half of a plastic Easter egg. I made the hive and the bees a week ahead of time to give the parts time to dry completely.
