Grandma's Beehive

Grandma's Beehive on Cake Central

I remember my Grandma had several beehive honey pots when I was young. She is in her 80s now and has alzheimers, I hope this might bring back some nice memories for her, if even temporarily! Thanks again to Debbie Brown, but especially Sweet_as_tisse whose bunny I shamelessly copied, it was perfect to give the cake a bit of an Easter touch.

Thanks...the beehive was made with a small tin (about 5 inches across) and a steamed pudding bowl. The cakes were put together and carved into shape. It was pretty fiddly! Worth it though, she is a very special lady.

Beautiful but your story is even more beautiful, brought tears to my eyes. I just lost my daddy last Mother's Day with alzheimers at the age of 86, and I remember how hard I tried to remind him of good things too. God will truly bless your pure heart.

So impressive! I was going to comment how much I like the texture of the grass and asked how you achieved it, but I saw your response already! tee hee (I cheated, too, by looking at the answer). Anyway, the bees are adorable as is the bunny! Very nice job and I hope it helped your Grandma a bit!
