Bubble Wrap Honeycomb Cake

This cake is the bee’s knees! We used boxed cake mix to keep things simple, but feel free to get fancy by making your own. When melting the candy, make sure you’re on medium power. Microwaving on high power will cause the candy to seize. For a finishing touch, drizzle on extra honey and top with our homemade honeycomb. You and your guests won’t be able to stop buzzin’ about it!
