These are bee-utiful (sorry ... couldn't resist). They sound quite wonderful, too. Since I'm an inveterate 'fiddler', it occurs to me that, before frosting the cupcakes, I'd be tempted to inject about a tablespoonful of honey into the center of each cupcake, then proceed as you did. The bees were truly inspired ... using almond slices for wings was a brilliant idea. Nice job!
