Beehive Cake

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) spice cake mix
1-1/4 cups water
3 eggs
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
9 to 10 drops yellow food coloring
1 chocolate wafer (2-1/2 inches)

In a large mixing bowl, beat cake mix, water, eggs, honey and oil on low speed for two minutes. Grease and flour a 6-oz. and a 10-oz. custard cup and a 1-1/2 qt. round baking dish.

Pour 1/3 cup batter into the 6-oz. cup, 1 cup batter into the 10-oz. cup and the remaining batter into the baking dish.

Bake the small cake at 350° for 30-35 minutes, the medium cake for 40-45 minutes and the large cake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from dishes to wire racks to cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, beat frosting and food coloring. Place large cake on a serving plate; spread with frosting. Top with medium cake; frost. Add small cake; frost top and sides of entire cake.

Using a wooden spoon and beginning at bottom of cake, make circles in frosting around cake to form the beehive. Position chocolate wafer at the base for the entrance. Makes 10-12 servings.
