Instructions
Prepare the Royal Icing
Make piping consistency royal icing in untinted white, yellow, and black.
Add the icings to disposable piping bags fitted with small round tips, like #2, or just snip off a tiny amount of the tip.
Pipe the Bee Body and Wings
Use a black food coloring pen to draw a single antenna where the face of the bee will be.
Pipe a dot of black royal icing at the bottom of the antenna to make the bee's head.
To the left of the head, pipe a yellow oval to represent the bee's body.
Pipe two white wings on top of the yellow body.
Allow the icing to dry at room temperature. You can add the bee path immediately or after the icing has dried completely.
Add the Bee Path
Use a black edible marker, black royal icing in a disposable piping bag with a small round tip, or black food coloring gel with a thin food safe paintbrush to draw a dotted line bee path from the side of the cookie to the back of the bee's body. You can do a straight path or have it make a circle or two.
Add the Bee Stripes
Once the yellow body has dried, you can add the black stripes. Pipe two thin, vertical black stripes on the yellow body.
Allow the icing to dry completely, about 24 hours, before stacking or packaging.
