SUNFLOWER AND HONEYBEE
“Who doesn’t love sunflowers? Large, bright and cheerful, they add a wonderful splash of colour in late summer and early Autumn. If you look closely at ones growing in your garden or the felds, you will notice that they are also loved by bees, especially honeybees. This is why this cake includes honey, honeycomb and a honeybee! You can, of course, adapt my instructions and just create a sunflower or you can be more adventurous and add the honeybee with her hexagonal honey cells dripping with this season's honey!” Lindy
