Cupcakes
1 12 cups all-purpose flour
1 12 teaspoons baking powder
14 teaspoon salt
34 cup sugar
12 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
14 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 cup whole milk
Bumble Bees
12 yellow jelly beans
2 tablespoons chocolate chips, melted
24 sliced almonds
Frosting
1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
13 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
4 cups powdered sugar
Honey, as desired, for drizzling
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 12 muffin pan cups; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl; set aside.
STEP 3
Place sugar and 1/2 cup butter into large bowl; beat on medium-high speed until well mixed. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey, lemon zest and vanilla. Add flour mixture, alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
STEP 4
Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan cups. Bake 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool completely.
STEP 5
Place jelly beans onto parchment paper. Drizzle melted chocolate over jelly beans to look like bumble bee stripes. Immediately arrange 2 almonds slices to look like wings. Let stand until chocolate is set.
STEP 6
Combine 1 cup butter and 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey in large bowl until well mixed. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at medium speed until creamy and smooth. (Frosting will be thick.)
STEP 7
Spoon frosting into piping bag fitted with large round tip. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes to look like beehive. Decorate with jelly bean bumble bees; drizzle with honey as desired.
Honey adds another layer of flavor to cookies and makes breads and rolls turn out tender.
