~Inspired by Springtime & Simple and Sweet Fridays #164~

~ Lemon Beehive Cake~

I have had Bees on my mind lately.

There's so many in our garden and I wanted to 

decorate and make sweet things with honey for Spring!!

I had fun making a Spring vignette with Bees too!!

I saw this whimsical Nordic Ware Beehive Cake Pan at Williams Sonoma and had to buy it.

I found the delicious

Lemon Cake recipe online at their site too.

I love lemons and honey.

What's not to like about this recipe!

Williams Sonoma also had the cutest 

sweet sugar bees to put on the cake!

I just couldn't decide what cake plate to put it on.

Spring is Here!!

I've collected things over the years with a 

Bee theme.

So I loved putting them all together for the

vignette.

I found this banner paper at Michael's Craft Store.

I didn't even have to cut them out.

I just wrote out Spring with a chalkboard pen.

Easy Peasy!!

Fresh Sunflowers from the Farmer's Market.

I had these cute bee stamps I found at Michael's too!

~An Anthropologie Plate~

~A Bee Skep~

I made a bee candle with tissue paper.

Lemon drop candies in a honey jar fit right into the vignette theme.

 

I found this bee embroidered sheet paper at Papyrus. 

It makes a great runner.

A new bee stepping stone I found at Home Goods for the garden.

Bee Tea Towel and Mini Spatulas

A little Sage Honeycomb with Brie for dessert.
