In honor of Mike's birthday, a beehive cake was (of course) baked. Sadly, after a string of stellar cakes over the years, today met with our first beehive cake disaster. It may have been due to some slight overcooking, or maybe the pan simply was not greased and floured enough...for whatever reason Mike's sad beehive cake was stuck in the pan and had to be basically dug out. Not pretty. Then, I cut too much out of the middle trying to even out the halves to stick together, causing a gaping hole between the two halves. Much buttercream icing was made in an attempt to fill the hole and to somehow fix the maimed exterior. It is...not pretty. In fact, I am too embarrassed to even post a picture of our sad beehive cake. Instead, I will show a picture of what could have been:
Sorry Mike - at least it will still taste good!
Happy Birthday to our favorite husband and dad!
