Introduction to what will it bee cake
A What Will It Bee cake is a beautiful and delicious way to reveal the gender of your baby. The cake is typically decorated with soft pastel colors and cute bee-themed decorations. The frosting is usually a neutral color, such as white or light yellow, to keep the gender a secret until the big reveal.
But what’s inside the cake is what makes it so exciting. The cake can be filled with either pink or blue buttercream frosting or candy. When the expecting parents cut into the cake, the color of the filling will reveal the gender of their baby.
How to make a bee themed cake
For this recipe, I used two 6-inch round cake pans. You may either use a package of your preferred cake mix or, if you prefer, your own favorite cake recipe.
Make sure you line a circle of parchment inside the baking pan and grease the sides so the cake comes out of the pan easily after baking. Bake cake, vanilla, chocolate or any other flavor you like. The whole cake will be covered with frosting and fondant, so you won’t see what’s inside after decorating.
Let your cakes cool completely on a wire rack until they are at room temperature. You can then chill them in the fridge for 15 minutes, or even wrap them in cling film and put them in the freezer before freezing. Cold cake is easier to make for beginners because it is usually less crumbly.
To decorate the cake, use fondant cut into several hexagons -Cut about 20 honeycombs for decoration and then press them lightly on the top and sides of the cake. Roll the leftover yellow fondant pieces from the previous step into tiny round ovals to create the body of your miniature bees. The bottom of the cake can then be beautifully decorated with cutouts made with a cookie cutter in the shape of flowers. You may use any color of fondant for an optional finishing touch.
To make sure the bee fondant sticks to the top of the cake, use a little water to wet the bottom of the bee and press it into the cake. To represent the “flying path” of the bee, create a dotted line on the top of the cake using black food coloring and embellish as desired.
