8.For the icing whip the extract and zest with the buttercream, you can add yellow color if you like.Place 1 teaspoon of icing on the cake circle and then place one layer of cake on the cake circle on it.Place about a cup of icing on top and spread evenly with spatula(you can also put some fresh raspberries).Place the second layer on top(make sure the bottom smooth side is facing up so you have an even surface(If you have a cake that has risen and is not flat enough to ice it level it and then place it crumb side down).Place 1 1/2 more cups of icing on top and start spreading on the top pushing it to the sides and then ice the sides as well.Pipe your favorite design,I used lemon icing with a shell tip to pipe the details and added the fondant honeybee and flower accents.
Tips:
Do not over mix the eggs or batter.
You can use blueberries instead of the raspberries too.
