honey

It's a bee theme today! I love the shallow little pool of sticky honey on top of these sugar cookie capped cupcakes. Honey is a flavor that just doesn't get enough attention. It's so flowery and delicate and amazing. And to think little BEES make it! They are like little stinging magicians!

I hope those bees have been humanely de-stingered for the safety of your dinner guests.

This guy has been buzzing around all day in the kitchen while the cake has been cooking. Shoo! I know you helped out with the honey but this cake is for people to eat, not bees!

Is he eating the honey? Hiding? Trapped? I think he looks a little mischievous and crazed. Like at any moment he's just going to explode with crazed laughter for fooling you. I love him.

I've been feeling honey lately. Honey on my yogurt, honey in my tea, honey in my cupcakes. Thanks bees!

If bees really looked like this, I'd welcome them bumbling around my house.

Sweet, sweet honey, I'm so glad you're around to spread on toast and dribble in tea. Bees, you're tops!
