Queen Bees

This is another one of Julia’s stencils. I was a bit too hesitant with some of my airbrushing and some colors did not come out exactly as planned.  But I had fun.  I tried to add dimension by adding some royal icing transfers as flowers.  I also added the messaging as a transfer, which may not have been the best choice.  Nonetheless,  I love the stencil design and there are many uses for the set.  However. I was hoping to find what felt like the perfect occasion to use it. Fortunately, I found two!  The first was for a friend with five sons.  They call themselves the “Hive Five” and she is the queen bee.  The second occasion was for a friend who – like me - plays the NY Times Spelling Bee each morning.  For anyone who doesn't know, if you get 100% of the answers, you’re called a Queen Bee.  We always go for the crown.  

These are so pretty!  You can make them again for National Honey Bee day on August 20. And next year World Honey Bee day around May 20

Lovely use of stencils in combination with royal icing.

OMG! Lisa, these looks soooo pretty and festive!! Love your works!  @LisaF ❤️

So sorry; just seeing this, as trying to stay more offline on vacation. I think you did a super job with these stencils! Even the royal icing transfers for the messages look good.

Thank you so much Olga.  I'm definitely trying!

These are beautifully decorated. You really did an excellent job. I do like th airbrushing as a softened backdrop to the bolder piped flowers.

These are wonderful Lisa @LisaF!! The use of Julia's stencil is perfect and I love the transfers and how you used them. Not sure why you said that you questioned the message being done as a transfer....I think it's perfect!!! I also love the color . Awesome work as always my dear cookie friend ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

Thank you for your kind words Carol.  I had my doubts about the message transfer because it seemed a bit blobby to me.  Julia's message stencils are always so crisp and clean when done properly.  I was afraid that a wonky shape of the transfer would take away from it. oh well, live and learn.
