Apple and Honey Cake
Apples and honey are a traditional food for this celebration. We are baking New Year cakes for our neighbors. (I’m on a sugar free yeast free diet so there will be no cake for me.)
Our Jewish neighbors across the street will know this is a Rosh Hashana cake. Our neighbor next door with 3 children will see it as a welcome to the neighborhood cake (one day I’ll explain Rosh Hashana, as the Lord leads)
Semi Homemade Recipe
If you don’t have time for a homemade cake add apples, honey and nuts to a yellow ckae mix and get canned cream cheese frosting.

Apple Honey Cupcakes with Bubble Bee Cup Decorations
We are decorating with bubble bees made from chocolate covered raisins and almonds.
Another idea is to make cupcakes and decorate with bees (found at craft stores).
