Bumble bee cookies recipe?

QUESTION: Any idea how to make birthday bumble bee cookies and cake? What to use for the shape and filling? Is it necessary to use honey, one of my child does not like its taste? What can be a good substitute?


ANSWER: Hi,

The best recipe for the bumblebee cake is containing 6 tbsp. of honey, 6 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1tsp of baking powder and 2-3 cup of flour.

For making the cream, you need 17.6 oz of sour cream and 1 cup of sugar. With this cream you are able to make the perfect shape of the cake.

Of course, you can substitute the honey with more sugar. All you have to do is to add one cup of sugar instead of 6 tbsp. of honey.

For the preparation, you have to separate the whites from the yolks, than you have to cream the yolks with sugar. After that, you have to melt the 6 tbsp. of honey or one cup of sugar and to add this to the yolk mixture. Stir this very well and then add the flour. In this way you have good looking dough.

The next thing is to beat the whites of the eggs, until it gets homogenous. You have to add this to the dough and the result has to be light and airy mixture. In this way you have the dough for the layers of the cake. The only thing that has left is to bake it in appropriate form and size.
