Candyman, Candyman, Candyman Beehive Recipe
Candyman is a guilty pleasure of violence and decadent storytelling. The deep layering of urban legend and myth are wound so deeply together, it’s easy to see why this movie has a cult following. We created a cranberry orange bundt cake in a beehive mold. It doesn’t need frosting, but we dripped honey over our delicious slices. Have a piece or five.
This is not based on the Candyman Remake, although we’re excited to see it too!

Notes
The bundt cake pan we used was Nordic Ware and I have posted the link in the images section. I use this cake pan for many summer and spring recipes, but it works especially nice for the horror classic, Candyman.
