Paint the stripes on the marzipan with a clean paintbrush using black food coloring. Place them on a sheet of parchment allowing them to dry. When they are no longer tacky, press 2 almond slivers into the bees to make their wings. Twist a little crafting wire, insert one end into the bottom of the bees.** The bees can be made several days ahead and stored in a sealed container.
• To construct the cake: Place 1 8inch layer on cake plate, put a very thin layer of the cream cheese frosting (crumb coat thickness) over the cake first. This helps to keep the berry filling from seeping into your cake. (To make the crumb coat thickness: just thin a little of the cream cheese frosting with milk to an approximate consistency of mayonnaise.)
• ** Before applying the berry filling, use some of the cream cheese frosting to build a "dam" around the edge of cake. This keeps the filling in place so it doesn't squeeze out when you put on the next layer. Place some of the strawberry honey filling on the first layer. Repeat with the remaining layers.
• When all the layers are in place, swirl the remaining frosting on the cake in a beehive pattern. Insert the Marzipan Honey Bees Ta-Da... a wonderful, luscious springtime cake
