Fondant Bees

These little critters are made with colorful fondant and are surprisingly easy to craft. With just a few ingredients, you can create stunning decorations that will elevate your dessert table.

Ingredients

To make these fondant bees, you will need the following ingredients:

1 batch of rolled fondant (store-bought or homemade)
Black food coloring
Yellow food coloring
White fondant (optional for eyes and wings)
Edible glue or water (to adhere pieces)
Small edible paintbrush (for detailing)

Instructions

Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get started with making these delightful fondant bees:

Begin by preparing your workspace. Dust your surface with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Take a piece of yellow fondant and roll it into a small oval shape for the bee’s body. This will be the main part of your bee.
Next, create smaller oval shapes from the black fondant. You will need two for the wings and two more for the stripes on the body. Attach the black stripes to the yellow body using edible glue or a dab of water.
Roll out small pieces of white fondant for the bee’s wings. Shape them as desired and attach them to the body.
For the eyes, use tiny dots of white fondant and add small black dots for pupils.
Finally, use the edible paintbrush to add details; you can highlight the wings or add realistic stripes to the body.
Allow your fondant bees to sit for a few hours to firm up before using them as decorations on cakes or cupcakes.

There you have it! These fondant bees are simple yet impactful. They make any dessert feel special and are a delightful addition to any celebration. Enjoy crafting and impress your family and friends with your cake-decorating skills!
