How does it look guys???
Everything here was homemade:
Honey biscuit layers
Sour cream / crème fraîche made from scratch
Decorations (honeycomb + bees)
Total time spent:
Cake layers + prep + assembly: ~7 hours
Final Frosting + decor (honeycomb & bees): ~1.5–2 hours
So roughly 9 hours of work — and worth every single minute.
The layers soaked up the cream beautifully, the frosting was stable and perfectly balanced (not overly sweet), and the flavor just kept getting better as it rested.
I gave a big-ass slice to my boyfriend — he loved it.🥰
My best friend absolutely loved it.😻
And my mom is still flabbergasted at how the layers came together.💗🥹😂

Made the honey comb with white chocolate and bubble wrap
Made bees with chocolate covered nuts and pumpkin seeds cut in half as wings and white chocolate with little but of turmeric for that yellow color !
If anyone needs any help please dm or ask !! I did a lot of search and made it so if i know anything, ill surely tell you! I also want to say a huge thank you to this community — I asked a lot of questions, took in so many suggestions, and genuinely learned so much from people here before finally making this cake. The help and encouragement really meant a lot 🤍

The bees r adorable!! I love it! Amazing job🤩
I love the top! Great job!
My friends fell in love with honey cake at a Georgian restaurant. I looked up a recipe but was too intimated. You’ve given me the courage to try. It looks amazing!! 🐝
That’s beautiful
Great job
A Ukrainian coworker of mine brought in a honey layer cake she made one time, and it might be the best homemade cake I’ve ever had. Your friend is very lucky, well done!
It looks delicious! I’ve been wanting to make one for a while, maybe I can do it for my mom’s birthday (she’s Russian). I’ll have to figure out a dairy free alternative to the icing for her tho 😅
As a Slavic girlie I love this so much
Wow! It looks amazing!
Truly gorgeous. What’s the verdict: are all the layers worth it?
9 hours is insane. This looks awesome. I trust that it was delicious. Good job.
You’re best friend is very lucky! I’ve never tried this cake before it looks so good
bee-utif!
I tried making one for my husband several years ago. It was frustrating and it looked awful. Taste wasn’t bad. I told him that I will not make one again.
How much does it soften up?
Do you need another friend?? Because I am here for you!! Looks delish!!
What does it taste like?? It looks lovely! I love the little bees!!🐝 so precious!
Wow!! 🤩 10 layers??!? And the little bees are so cute!!! 🥰
Wow! It is beautiful and sounds so delicious. What a thoughtful friend! 💕
Do you need another best friend? This looks absolutely divine.
Well done!! The cake is beautiful and the bees are just adorable!
You’re a great friend, and he/she is lucky to have you!! 💕🥰💕
I would absolutely smash half that cake and drink a pot of coffee to go with it. Well done!
I am Russian American… You just brought back some great childhood memories. I love this cake so much 😍 Idk if I would ever have the patience to make it though! I do not bake very much.
You did an amazing job on this—the layers look so good! And those little bees are absolutely precious. Your best friend is so lucky!
Retired baker here! Well done!!🤤😋
That’s seriously impressive. Ten layers is a labor of love, your friend is lucky.
This is one of my favorite cakes, looks like you did a good job.
Ugh we had the BEST Eastern European bakery here in Vegas that sold this and I used to get a whole one for every single event but they closed and nobody else has a good one.
Amazing that you were able to get those layers that even, it looks delicious
I would cry (tears of joy) if someone made that for me!! So beautiful!!
More layered than a complex character in a movie.
Wow!!! Looks delicious and beautiful as well!❤️❤️❤️
Looks super delicious 🤤
This is art. Bravo!
I’ve had one of those before and it was super good! I’m obviously no authority in baking, but this looks really well done!
