Step 1
1. First, combine butter, sugar, and honey, then place over a water bath. Once the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Add baking soda and return the mixture to the water bath. To make the homemade Squirrel cake authentic, add crushed candies. After a couple of minutes, remove from heat and mix well until a smooth consistency forms. Let the mixture cool slightly before adding sifted flour. Add the flour gradually, mixing thoroughly until the dough forms. The dough should resemble modeling clay in consistency.
