Beehive Cake

By: Sheila Bradshaw

"Guests at my fun Bee Tea thought this cake was so cute! To make the hive's different-sized cake layers, I just searched through my kitchen drawers and cabinets and found containers I had on hand to bake the tiers. Honey adds character to the spice cake's flavor. -Sheila Bradshaw, Columbus, Ohio"

Original Recipe Yield 10 servings

Ingredients

1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
3 eggs
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 (16 ounce) can vanilla frosting
9 drops yellow food coloring
1 chocolate wafer

Directions

Bake the small cake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes, the medium cake for 40-45 minutes and the large cake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from dishes to wire racks to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat frosting and food coloring. Place large cake on a serving plate; spread with frosting. Top with medium cake; frost. Add small cake; frost top and sides of entire cake. Using a wooden spoon and beginning at bottom of cake, make circles in frosting around cake to form the beehive. Position chocolate wafer at the base for the entrance.
