Beautiful Vintage Beehive Cake - from Beehive Shoppe

This adorable and whimsical strawberry and bee cake is surprisingly very easy to make. No matter how great or small your baking skills are.. don’t be afraid to give this cake a try! Follow our simple steps below - or take our ideas and come up with something on your own - we’d love to see what you come up with!

1 - CAKE RECIPE

You can use your own recipe or any boxed cake mix. We think that a yellow cake may be best because it lends itself to the whole feeling of a beehive.

Also, you’ll need 3-4 cans of pre-prepared frosting or your own favorite recipe.

2 - WHAT YOU’LL NEED

The one special item you’ll need is a round metal bowl. This bowl needs to be close to the size of the cake pans (don’t worry if it’s a little too big, you can cut it down with a bread knife after cooking.) Other than a round metal bowl, you’ll just need 9” round cake pans.

3 - BAKE BAKE BAKE

Following the directions on the box, bake four 9” rounds plus 1 dome top. This will make the cake really large and also very cute!

4 - Cool & Rest

Remove the cakes from their pans after baking and let rest for 2-3 hours before decorating. You’ll want them to be cool so the frosting doesn’t get too warm and melt.

5 - Set Up Your Beehive Layers

Next, gently assemble all the layers on top of each other, using frosting to secure each layer. You’ll use alot of frosting!

6 - Your Ready to Decorate

Once the cake is assembled and frosted all the way around you’re ready to decorate!

8 - Wiggle on Green Vines

Using your cake decorating tools, wiggle green vines all along the bottom and up the sides. Then add sliced strawberries (see our pictures for details and ideas).

9 - Add bees & other decorations

Add on pre-prepared bees, flowers, and ladybugs if you’d like - you can easily buy these little accoutrements from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or any hobby/cake decorating store. Or, be creative and make your own! We made these from jelly beans and M&M’s

10 - Show it off!

You’ve done it! What a fun cake you’ve made - Take it to a party and let all of your friends ooooh and aaaah over your adorable creation. And - send us a picture at orders@beehiveshoppe.com so we can show off your cake!
