Then it was time for cheese after dessert. We laughed so hard like complete buttheads. I told her that the cake had her favourite American style buttercream and she went back for more buttercream after the slices were meted out, once trailing her finger across the buttercream on the side when nobody but me was looking.

The party was full of children and adults most of them familiar to us as we've seen them on birthdays, Christmases and other occasions and it was nice to catch up with people although I spent most of my time eating and hanging out with Ivy. On the morning of I took it out of the freezer that morning and it defrosted on the trip to Manly to Louise and Viggo's house and by the time it was served it was ready. The freezer was my best friend and once it set in the fridge, I covered it up and stashed it in the freezer. I made the cake on Wednesday, let it firm up and then cursed the weather because this was going to be covered in buttercream and we were about to have a 38C/100F day. This cake was going to baby Henry who was turning 1 year old on Saturday.

I was making two cakes for two little boys. I can't believe this is the first time I've tried honey buttercream but it won't be my last. It's rich, moist and dense and the American style honey buttercream is just the sort of thing that dreams are made of. The mead, honey and cinnamon give this an almost banana/carrot cake sort of quality. All you need is a pudding basin to make this surprisingly easy honey mead bee cake! With a cinnamon scented mead and honey cake base, the cake is covered with a delicious salted honey buttercream!Īlthough this is a novelty cake, I have to urge you to give this cake a try.
