Bumble Bee Cake or Cupcake Toppers

These charming bumble bee toppers will make your cupcakes buzz with excitement! They are easy to craft and can transform a simple cupcake into an adorable masterpiece. Here’s how you can create them:

Ingredients

1 cup of yellow fondant
1/2 cup of black fondant
Edible yellow and black paint or dust
Toothpicks or lollipop sticks
Rolling pin
Knife or fondant cutting tool
Small round tool for shaping (optional)
Crafting tools for detailing (optional)

Instructions

Begin by rolling out the yellow fondant to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your knife or fondant cutting tool to cut out small circles for the bumble bee bodies.
Next, roll out the black fondant and cut thin strips to create the bumble bee stripes. Attach these to the yellow circles to give your bees some character.
For the wings, use small pieces of white or yellow fondant, shaping them into wing-like forms. Attach them to the top of the yellow body using a small dab of water or edible glue.
Use your crafting tools to add details, such as eyes, by rolling tiny balls of black fondant and securing them on the bumble bee’s body.
Once you’ve completed your toppers, insert toothpicks or lollipop sticks into the bottom of each to easily place them on your cupcakes.
Finally, if desired, brush a bit of edible paint or dust to add some shimmer and enhance the color!

Now that you’ve crafted these adorable bumble bee cake or cupcake toppers, you can place them atop your favorite cupcakes or cake for a fun and festive look. Enjoy the compliments from your guests as they marvel at your creative baking skills!
