Bumble Bee Themed Dessert Table!

Of course the best part of the party is when I get to put it all together.  It was a simple display because in just a few weeks another party would be happening.  So with a few added stripes, the Bumblebee Dessert Table was created.

Bumble Bee Cornbread!

I promise, this Bee themed party is almost over, please don't buzz away.

I wanted to serve cornbread because we were having Bar-B-Que for the gender reveal dinner.  And it goes great with honey.  Then I wanted the cornbread to be in cute little bee shapes.  How can something so cute, bee so time consuming?

Bumble Bee Jell-O Parfait!

In reality, a bumblebee parfait doesn't really sound good, it sounds like something you might eat if you were on a reality game show.  And it would be a game show I would lose because I'm not eating any kind of insect.  Ever.  I added a bumblebee to the stem of the glass and that's why they are now a bumblebee Jell-O parfait.  And you should see the way I served the chips!

Bumble Bee Cake Pops!

When working on the desserts, I always try and come up with something new.  I wanted to make cake pops, but Bumble Bee Cake Pops are nothing new, in fact they've been buzzing around for years.  So I was left with a challenge...to come up with a new and unique Bumble Bee Cake Pop.

Bumble Bee Topped Cupcakes!

So many ideas were buzzing around in my head, but I just couldn't come up with the idea for the cupcakes.  Until the day before the party.  How about a little bee topper?

Honeycomb Candy!

I did it!  Yes, I was patient and followed the recipe to a T and it worked.  Like usually when I follow a recipe, I don't follow it to a T, maybe a t, because I become impatient.  This time I didn't stir the pot just like the recipe said and low and behold I had honeycomb candy!

Honeycomb Cake!

First it was going to be a Bee Hive Cake, but decided to do something a little different and make a Honeycomb Cake.  First attempt was a little messy, well actually a complete disaster.  But that's when I try even harder, to complete the task that didn't go as planned.  After learning from my first mistakes, I was able to complete the Honeycomb Cake!

Honeycomb Cookies!

It's wouldn't be a party without sugar cookies and it wouldn't be a BEE themed party without Honeycomb Cookies.  Truly the easiest cookies to make, with just a bit of planning.

Bee Themed Favor Box!

I've got one more party favor to share.  This time all you have to do is buy the Bee favor boxes and candy and you're good to go.  Before I even knew I would be hosting a gender reveal party, the little boxes were in my "saved for later" shopping cart.  How handy is that?  I have everything saved for later and then with a click of a button, they can be on their way.  Just like the boxes.

Honey Jar Party Favors!

Party Favors!  A party wouldn't be complete unless you can send your guests home with a box of goodies and party favors, right?  I think this stemmed from my mom coming home from baby showers or teas and bringing a little decorative paper cup filled with nuts and mints.  I loved getting that treat and now I want everyone to bring home treats.

Bumble Bee Rice Krispie Treats!

Now that the gender has been revealed at the party, some have been asking and I thought you all might like to know... IT'S  A  GIRL!  I am over the moon excited and can't wait to start on baby shower preparations.  Bee-fore I get too excited about the baby shower, I've got a ton of BEE themed desserts to show you, including Bumble Bee Rice Krispie Treats.  You know you will always see a RKT on my dessert table.

Bumble Bee OREOS!

Once the "What Will it Be?" theme was decided for the gender reveal, I began dreaming up the sweet desserts that would be served. Yep, Oreo's are always a part of my dessert buffet.  This time I made Striped Oreo's topped with little bumble bees. Aren't they Bee-utiful?

What Will it Bee Gender Reveal!

Today you're in for a treat, I've been buzzing around with excitement.  WHY?  Because I'm hosting a gender reveal party for my... Grandbaby to Bee!  Yep, I'm going to be Gramma Gigi this fall.  Last year at this time I was in full swing helping plan my daughter's wedding and fast forward a year later, I'm planning a gender reveal!
