[starbucksadct]

Beautiful cake for your 3rd time..... You should definitely not cover the cake board with foil tho. Eeek.

[09165067633]

thanks... i have made other cakes after this. and the foil is something i dont do now. I always cover my cake boards with fondant as well :)

[Kpsan82]

so cute the bumble beees are so chubby and cute

[sn0306]

kisses from portugal

[thisoldhouse107]

Very nice! Have you considered covering your cake boards with fondant and trimming the edge in ribbon? I think it would make your cake look even more professional.

[09165067633]

thanks :) since this was one of my first cakes... i discovered that a bit later on as you can see with my other cakes. i have a tutorial on how to make homemade boards too :) thanks a lot :)

[CrazyRhianne]

[TinyHungarian]

i am trying my first cake with my mom in a few days.

hope it turns out half as nice as this!!!!

[adrianapolari]

Ok, I will, thanks. I saw your video just few months ago and its really amazing, Im chocolate addicted also hehe. I just asked because I guess in Brazil fondant is another thing, but I think there you call fondant that material which you use to cover the cake, is it? And so inside you can put whatever you want.

[adrianapolari]

Your cake is absolutelly wonderful. Congratulations from Brazil. I would to know what you put inside? Its chocolate?

[09165067633]

i believe it is chocolate :) it has been so long since i made this but we're such chocolate lovers im sure i made it a chocolate cake :) i have an updated version of this cake and you can browse my videos and see it too :) Thanks

[09165067633]

im sorry but i have a couple of cakes due real soon..but i'll email you--and maybe i can send you the pics i have on how to make it

[LindsayLJN]

Having read another comment on your blog, I see that this cake design is from Debbie Brown. Do you happen to know which book it's from as I'd like to get myself a copy :-D

Cheers!

Lindsay x

[souldr3am]

omg how cute!but wheres the video of how to make the bumble beeS?aww i'm excited!i want to learn!!!!!!lol

[GTAPie]

that is sooo cute

[badgerbrian1974]

Hi , great cake ive watched all your videos and its inspiriing me to bake this too!

Anyway I have debbie browns book - she uses the maderia sponge cake recipie for the actual cake - do you use this too? or do you use a different recipie?

thanks and keep baking :)

[fun2collect]

GREAT JOB!!!

[inimitable101]

adorable. great job.

[jaskerry]

Cute cake! But how do you cut and serve this cake? Also how do you cut your topsy turvy cake so you have even pieces? I'm subscribed to you and love your cakes. You do good work. Thanks also for responding to a question I had on another cake :) I was thinking of making and selling cakes like these but I'm not sure it would be profitable enough since it is surprising on what it actually costs to make a stacked cake.

[Lisen99]

I have seen this picture of the cake as your '' showing picture'' on your site. Great job, Mayen!

[firelego]

I love this Debbie Brown creation!  I have all of Debbie's books and enjoy making her beautiful creations as well!! Your cake looks just as hers does in her book,so you did a fantastic job re-creating!! :) Great job!

[ernietje1234]

its beautiful

[leanviegas]

Thanks!! I can't believe you answered so quickly!! I understand everything you said, and thank you for answering my question. I didn't know what "buttercream icing" was, but I looked it up in my dictionary and we call it "glasé". It's made of sugar, isn't it?

Thanks again!!

[leanviegas]

Excuse me, I wanted to ask you sth because I'm preparing my son's first birthday, does the cake has to be completely plain before you put the fondant? if so, how do you keep it plain (I mean if I previously stuff the cake it becomes irregular)

Pardon my English, I'm from Argentina.

Many thanks! and beautiful work!

[09165067633]

Hi. Thank you. If I understand correctly -- after the cake has the filling put in all the layers... you will need to 'carve' the sides of each layer to make it look like the beehive. Then cover the whole cake with buttercream icing- then put it in fridge for a few hours -- then you can put the fondant :) email me if you have any questions . Thanks again

[caboodlecake]

haha this is really cute

[sw33tCinnamon]

I love this cake i will be trying it next try. for now its my first time so im going with something easier, Im still not clear on how you got the top round part? and also did u use those sticks to put one cake on top of the other, or did u just stack them like that.

[09165067633]

the round top part was made by molding the cake scraps from the bottom tiers-- i used a small soup bowl and I cling wrapped it shut for a while , and then it came out like that-- dense and shaped perfectly for the top of a beehive. At that time i did not use dowels cause i did not know how to use them-- the cake was not very heavy so it was able to stand on its own.

[angel109579]

omg its sooooo cute [:

[Crazyfreak54321]

i want to know how you made the beehive

[09165067633]

Hi thre. I would want to see your cake when you're done !!! The sizes are 8, 6 and 4. The 4 inch cake pan was from a mini-cake set from wilton ( there were 3 in the set )... and i squeezed the 4 inch flat cake along with the cake scrap from the first 2 layers when i had to carve the sides to make sides 'rounded or curved'-- i put them in a small bowl ( exactly the shape that the top layer took )and i clingwrapped it there for some minutes to come up with a more solid top layer :)

[ilovechrisbrown4242]

very cute bumble beez!!!

[JU5T4G1RL]

hey, I posted a comment but I don't know where it went. :( I absolutely love this cake! I was wondering.. where did you buy the Satin Ice fondant?

[JU5T4G1RL]

ah, that is so cute. how did you make the flowers? :)

[becakpilot]

tres cute :) and thank you for mentioning me :)

great job!

[09165067633]

yey :) Im happy you saw your name ... i am thankful for people like you who inspire first timers like me. Thanks !

[wickedwillowway]

i just love the bees I am going to make this one thanks for showing it.

[09165067633]

Im glad you liked it ! The bees are easy to make... and i know your cake is going to be great :)

[Janelle5000]

I am doing this cake for my daughter's 1st b-day and also my 31st. Her whole room is done in bumblebees because her name is Kirbee! I have never made a cake like this, but I really want it to work. How did you make the entrance of the hive?

[09165067633]

that is too cute!!!after the cake has been covered with the second layer of buttercream...and is pretty much ready for the fondant... i carved the entrance out-- a small steak knife is what i used. And after the yellow fondant is laid...a slab of black fondant gives the entrance a 3d effect and highlights it as well. i hope it all goes well ...and happy birthday to both of you!

[blossom803]

ate! is this you!!? i saw this video 2 months ago! who would ever think this was u! u sound different! I LOVE UR CAKES! i just saw ur friendster post and the pictures looked familiar so i looked for this video! lo and behold- it is u! ur amazing! i am ur number 1 fan!

[09165067633]

Bloss, that is SO funny! everybody says i sound different :) i guess its because i never talk to any Pinoy in straight English :) ( sasabihin nila OA ka di ba ) ... but to connect to the world, English is the way in youtube. Thanks for appreciating this cake, I loved making it as well :) Gimme a ring when you're here in the US!

[iluvsims288]

WOW. That's awesome. Looks so nice!

[09165067633]

thank you :)

[sylviasushi27]

this is so beautiful you are so talented- i want to make this cake for my fiance for our anniversary. :)

[09165067633]

Thank you! Im pretty sure you can make this since it is easy to make. I think I posted somewhere here how I made the top tier -- since that was from using an ordinary soup bowl :) You wont need a special cake pan to give that round top. Let me know how it goes! ( PS there's a short bee tutorial here too ) Take care!

[amandabruorton]

This cake is FABULOUS!!! I am wanting to do a bumblebee nest for my son's first- 'I can't bee-lieve you are 1!!!'... I was wondering what size cakes are underneath the fondant?? Is it 8', 6', and what?? Your help would be greatly appreciate it!! Thanks!

[09165067633]

Hi thre. I would want to see your cake when you're done !!! The sizes are 8, 6 and 4.

i tried making my own fondant a couple of times...but it didnt turn out to be what i expected. so i tried the brand Bakels and satin Ice, and founf Satin Ice to taste better. Hope that helps :)
