Hole-in-one Golf Cake

Aside from the decapitated head cake that was requested of me for a certain someone's Birthday party, I also needed a cake for him to have on the actual day.

Golf seems to be quite high on the priority list at the moment so a golf cake was the obvious choice.

This cake was very easy to make but I think (if I don't say so myself) it looks rather professional.

Make your favourite cake in a ring tin and whip up some green icing.

The best ever chocolate mud cake is always our go-to for special occasions.

I used two tablespoons of butter whipped with icing sugar and green food colouring.

I also used a bit of milk to soften it.

Spoon the green icing into a piping bag with a star nozzle attached.

Starting from the middle, pipe little tufts of grass in circles.

You might also like our golf green cake. 

I think it's best to do full circles rather than do one side then the other.

It might end up uneven otherwise.

Now it's time to make the golf ball.

I used one box of store-bought marzipan and rolled it into a ball.

With the end of a knife, I made small indents to make it more realistic.

I drew his star sign symbol on one side of the ball with writing icing and a Nike tick on the other side and voila!

I love making novelty cakes.

So far I've made a wine champagne glass, a piece of male anatomy (for a hen's party), a '21' and a decapitated head.

What novelty cakes have you made?
