1St Bug Cake

I went crazy with the fondant/gumpaste. The flowers and wings are gumpaste. The bugs are all fondant. The anthill is just frosting covered in crushed graham crackers (from a pie crust). The eyeballs are sprinkles. The bugs were time consuming but very easy.

For the ant's antennas and the bee's stinger I used black string licorice. I cut it into shape with a knife. The antennas on the other bugs were rice noodles (a bit thinner and whiter than angel hair pasta (you can get it in the Asian food sectionthe stuff put in egg rolls)). The little balls on top were just fondant.
