Buzzy Bee Cupcake

August 23rd, 2008

Buzzy Bee Cupcake – honey cupcakes with silken lemon curd filling. Sitting atop is a soft-baked meringue “bee hive” guarded by a chocolate honey bee. Price available upon request.

I had been wracking my brain for ideas on how to dress up these wonderful honey cupcakes. I thought of the honey-lemon Halls candies. If the flavor combination works on the candies, then it can also work on cupcakes. And it does! The lemon curd on its own is very tangy but it really marries well with the flavor of the cupcake. The “bee hive” is made of soft meringue baked just until the tips get brown. The bees are made of white chocolate with almond flaked nuts as wings. Everything is edible, except of course the cupcake liner!

    this is a really creative cupcake. i love the merinque “icing.” you’ve really got a knack for making desserts look pretty.

    Hi,
    I love your Buzzy Bee Cupcake. Are you able to email me the instructions on how to make them including the merinque and bee decoration.
    This idea is great for a Winnie The Pooh party theme.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nicki.

    Hello, I chanced upon this page by accident and fell in love with the beautiful cupcake. I work with honey bees so I thought of ordering some only to discover that it wouldn’t be possible since I live in another country. Could you send me a recipe? Would mean a lot!

    thanks!

  • 12. Roselyn  |  May 13th, 2009 at 12:22 pm

    frances: Have you checked your inbox yet?

    moushimi: Thanks for dropping by. When I was a young girl, my late grandfather showed us a hive that bees built under his kitchen sink! And we all got to taste the wonderful honey. Now, we have some bees also in our garage and my mother thinks there is also a bounty of honey there. Only, we haven’t looked. :-) Check your inbox for the recipe and good luck!
