Taking a break from my busy day with Black Hound Busy Bee Cake
I will start off this post by apologizing for the paper bowl – disposable cutlery, plates, and bowls are just a part of college life. What I am most sorry for is presenting my favorite cake in the whole world in such a manner. After all, it is cut crudely, and the outer layer of chocolate is falling apart. I know that people eat with their eyes first, so I might be taking a risk when I tell you to buy this cake if you ever go to New York City.
Nevertheless, I will continue in hopes that you trust my taste. This cake is called the Busy Bee Cake (yes, I am capitalizing its name because it is just that good), the signature cake of Black Hound bakery. Comprised of three layers of chocolate cake, two layers of almond cake, two layers of bittersweet chocolate mousse, and one layer of marzipan, this cake is a sure winner. Oh, and how could I forget the fact that it is encased in another layer of marzipan and has a hard bittersweet shell with small marzipan bees on top?
Luckily, if you are not yet convinced of the appeal of the Busy Bee Cake and Black Hound Bakery in general, I have a photo which will hopefully entice you.
(Spotted: two miniature Busy Bee cakes on the bottom shelf, fourth from the right, about to be purchased by this blogger).
Whenever I am busy at home, I like to take a break and go downtown to Black Hound to purchase a Busy Bee Cake.

I would love try a Busy Bee Cake, they look and sound marvellous!
The Busy Bee Cake is really delicious. All of the cakes I’ve tried from Black Hound are outstanding, and every time I go, they serve samples 🙂
Thanks for liking my post on clementine cake! This looks awesome – I wish I lived in New York and could sample it!
Thank you so much, and I really enjoyed your original post! 🙂
Having a slice of cake during break time is the best!
Nothing better! Though I must say, your apple fritters seem like an awesome option as well!
Wow! I looked at that piece of cake, never mind the paper, never even noticed, and just about started drooling all over my keyboard. Then after you described it, I could hardly believe all that stuff was in it. I still like it anyway, since I don’t understand what some of the ingredients in it are anyway. Nothing like that out in the boonies of Missouri. Good luck with school.
Haha thank you! Yeah, same with Amherst. I will just have to wait until I get back to NYC.
