Golf Cake

This golf cake will please and surprise all of your golfing friends. Golf is such a social game. Golf is great to improve your business contacts, social with friends and a fantastic way to exercise. When I think of golfing I love to get all glitzy. This might sound silly, but who doesn’t love all the clothing and accessories that go along with the game. Of course there are the clothes, shoes and hats. Everyone I think loved them, but I like to seek out the small little gems. From different destinations I like to look for the small little special pieces. Like a visor clip from Disney. Or this past summer we went to Prince Edward Island. We were able to play at the Links at Crowbush Cove. From the small village we were able to get ball markers with my name on them. All these little things are thrilling for me.

For the social side, it’s a great way to hang out with a foursome and then enjoy a great lunch afterwards. I was so excited when I saw some cake toppers for golfing. I knew that I wanted to create a golf cake.

How to Make the Ultimate Golf Cake

The golf cake is a two tier eight inch cake. I made a white cake. It would be a light afternoon cake after a round of gold and a quick luncheon. Follow the instructions to mix up the batter. For the bottom of the pan trace over a sheet of wax paper. By opening scissors you are able to inscribe the wax paper. After this cut it out to fit into the middle of the pan. Spray a dot of cooking spray at the bottom. This will make the wax paper stay in place. Then spray the sides of the pan and cook according to the instructions. 

Once the cakes are cooked and cooled you want to level the cakes. I have a nifty tool that will level the cakes. I place the cakes onto a cutting board and then raise the side of the Wilton cake leveler. It can be super specific for the exact height that is necessary. I usually adjust the one side then count up the groves to set the second side to the exact measurement. Serade the wire across and then you will be able to start decorating.

Place the cake onto your serving dish. With a cake angled spatula place a layer of vanilla icing in the middle of the two levels. Once the were stacked I make a crumb layer of icing over the full cake. Next I did the sides of the cake. This way I only needed to concentrate on the top of the cake. I knew that I wanted long grasses on the one side of the cake and this way the grass blades would be able to go over from the top to naturally flop onto the side.

Before I started the top of the cake I made up a substantial amount of colored icing. I dyed the vanilla icing in greens for the different grasses and blue for the water hazard. No worries if you make too much icing, it will keep for other side cupcakes.

For the short grass on the greens I used a small star cake decorating tip. In the area that there was the hole, I wanted it to look smooth. I put a small amount of cornstarch and water in a dish. Mixed together and while wearing a small glove I smoothed out that area with my finger. 

Next I created the sand trap. In a mini kitchen blender I blended up graham crackers. I used the angled spatula to add a little vanilla icing. Then I placed the graham crackers on top and smoothed it out with a small spoon. 

To make the long grasses I used the Wilton tip #233. I held the piping bag and tip above the cake just by a bit. Then squeeze out a bit of icing, pull it up from the surface while squeezing until it is the length of grass that you wish on your cake. Then stop squeezing the icing. Make sure it is tight enough that you don’t see any of the cake underneath. By using this technique all the grass will look unique. 

To finish off the look I simply placed the cake topper of the golfer and the flag onto the golf cake.

This golf cake was a fantastic surprise to our golf luncheon. During these lunches my friends often will try to list some of their golf courses that are on their bucket list. There’s nothing better than traveling with friends and experiencing hobbies throughout the world. It would be amazing to go to Scotland to see and play at famous golf courses like St. Andrew’s. I still remember the shirt that I was gifted after my parents went to europe. And for myself I would want to golf at courses that have majestic views of the water from the courses like in Prince Edward Islands Links at Crowbush Cove.
