That reads: Jacob 2! not Jacob 21 (since someone asked me)
I later had to give him new eyes since the little stinker ate the M&M eyes right off his cake!
Jacob is always calling out, bird! or bee! when we're outside. An ant will be crawling by on the sidewalk and he'll run over and crouch down to watch, yelling over and over, "Bee! Bee! Bee!" All insects are bees to him. It seemed to have just the right amount of cuteness to work and since it wasn't overly complicated, a bee cake it was!
This one was actually pretty easy to make. Though I still have yet to figure out how to stop the cake from crumbling into the iceing when I spread it. The black iceing I bought, after reading numberous recommendations to do so on the interwebs. Apparently it's impossible to make black iceing with food coloring without making it get too bitter. The antenae are black liccorice and the tail is just iceing. The wings are slices of cake.

well, as an avid cake boss and ace of cakes fan, you would have to "dirty ice" it...meaning, put a thin layer of buttercream on it and then put it in the fridge/freezer. then you can ice that layer without spreading the crumbs!
thats a really cute cake btw!
