It's not the most 'professionalle' looking cake but hey, she liked it and everyone knew it was a bee so I'm happy
Little baby bee cupcakes to go with it
It would appear N3 has a 'thing' about bees ( bees made from my pattern)
The recipe I use for Gluten free chocolate cake is here (I sub the butter for oil). Very easy and very yummy, and hard to pick as GF - it's nice and moist. I made it yesterday and put it in the fridge over night and was pleasantly surprised to find it cut very easily today. No crumbling and not too moist that it fell to pieces, perfect!
I doubled the recipe, filled my 12 cupcake patty tins and used the rest to bake a large rectangle cake that I shaped this morning. Decorated with dairy free frosting using Wilton's yellow cake gel and Hansells black food colouring. Pipe cleaner antennae, Pam's DF choc chip eyes, baking paper wings! Voila...bee cake as requested, safe for little miss intolerant :D
Add some popcorn, cold chicken, crackers/carrot sticks/celery and hummus, chocolate crackle cake (made with vegetable shortening), fruit kebabs (pineapple, strawberries, grapes, GF marshmellows) and dried fruits and nuts and you have a yummy 'safe' birthday afternoon tea.
She had a great day with those who love her most and was very lucky with lots of lovely gifts. Thank you to everyone who left her a Happy Birthday comment :D
