AI'm trying to copy the chocolate Beehive cake from Publix bakery. It is chocolate cake with pecans on top in a glaze (honey perhaps). It has the whip topping in between layers. If nobody has the recipe- I would just like to know how to do the glaze with the pecans. Thanks in advance! G

We made a cake like this in a grocery store that I worked it, they may have gotten the idea from publix.  

We used a sticky bun smear like you would use for sticky pecan sticky buns, spread that generously on the bottom of the cake pan and sprinkled it generously with chopped pecans.  Poured the batter over that and baked until done.  Flip the baked cake out of the pan while still quite warm to prevent sticking.  It was filled with Rich's Bettercream, non dairy whipped topping.  

Just get a recipe for the sticky part of sticky buns and use that.

I really liked that cake without the fake whipped "cream" in the middle.  I've been thinking of recreating that recipe from scratch.

AThank You! Real whip cream icing would taste awesome as well!
