It was a hive of activities at the house for the last few days culminating in my elder kid’s birthday party yesterday. I’m so glad life regains some normalcy after running around like a headless chicken. Finally finished wallpapering the last wall in the entryway and moved furniture to their rightful places (more or less) and put up a couple of pictures. And for the rest of the stuff yet to be hung or installed, they have been conveniently swept under the sofa, stuffed into boxes or just put behind sliding doors. Lol!!
Anyhow for this year’s birthday cake, I decided I’d make a beehive. After all, it’s summer 😉
Day -2
Lemon madeira cakes are baked.
Day -1
Assembling the hive with buttercream & iced with homemade strawberry jam
Day 0
The beehive 😀 I decided to cover the cake with chocolate fondant instead of using half a bottle of brown coloring gel to make a brown hive; it tastes much nicer too. Made 10 bees in all for the 9 kids expected at the party. It was a hit!
