This is a fun project that my kiddos and I made to get ready for Rosh Hashanah. In case you can’t tell, baking and doing dessert-type things is my favorite! I came up with this idea to top the honey cupcakes we are planning, and the kids wanted to help. They are cute and sweet and lots of fun!
I used both big and small marshmallows, yellow candy melts (the Gefen brand is parve, but dairy brands are widely available), (parve) chocolate chips, sprinkles, and a food color pen for the face details.
Melt the candy melts and dip the marshmallows, letting them dry on a wire rack or parchment paper. I used these round sprinkles for eyes on the big marshmallows and wings on the smaller ones – but wait to stripe before you put those wings on the little guys!
The stripes are chocolate chips melted with a touch of coconut oil and put into a piping bag. We broke mini marshmallows in half and squished them flat to make the wings for the bigger bees, adding while the chocolate was wet. I had some extra so I piped some hearts to use for serving garnishes.
We made these pomegranates (free template here!) and put a bee inside for the kids to deliver to their friends along with our annual Rosh Hashanah card.
Cupcakes, marshmallow bees, and pomegranates aren’t quite enough, though. I suppose I’ll have to go and make some of the other stuff on my 2020 RH menu. Right? I should do that.
Are you making anything fun? Anything new? Any favorites?
