Fondant Bees

These adorable fondant bees bring a playful element to your baking. Not only do they look charming, but they also add a sweet touch to your creations. Let’s gather our ingredients and get started on making these delightful little critters!

Ingredients

1 cup fondant (yellow, black, and white)
Edible black and white food coloring or gel
1 tablespoon cornstarch (for dusting)
Cake or cupcakes (for decoration)

Instructions

Prepare Your Workspace: Start by cleaning your workspace and gathering all your ingredients. Dust your surface with cornstarch to prevent the fondant from sticking.
Create the Bee Body: Take a small portion of the yellow fondant and roll it into a ball. Then, shape it into an oval to form the bee’s body.
Add Wings: Roll out a small piece of white fondant and cut it into two wing shapes. You can use a knife or a fondant cutter for this. Attach the wings to the top sides of the bee’s body.
Make the Stripes: Roll tiny pieces of black fondant into thin strips and attach them around the bee’s body to create its signature stripes.
Add the Face: For the bee’s face, use black fondant to create two small eyes and a tiny stinger at the back. You can use edible food coloring to add more detail, like a smile or blush.
Assemble: Allow your fondant bees to sit for a few minutes to harden slightly. Once they are ready, place them on top of your cake or cupcakes starting the bee-themed decoration!

And there you have it—adorable fondant bees that are perfect for any special occasion! Not only are they easy to make, but they’ll also impress your friends and family. Enjoy your baking, and let your creativity soar!
