Dad's Golf Birthday Cake
I made this cake for my dad's 60th birthday. He is a huge golf fan! It was inspired by the grooms' cake gallery at www.dianescakesandmore.com. It is a 9x13 2-layer dark chocolate fudge cake w/ a coconut orange sports ball cake on top. Grass is all buttercream. Ball is covered in MMF. Thanks to my fellow cc'ers for the suggestions on the orange cake -- I used a DH coconut cake mix and embellished it w/ orange juice, orange jello and orange extract. It was a hit!!!
Nice job. How did you make the "dimples" in the ball?
Thanks. I did it with the round end of the Wilton fondant tool. I just let the fondant settle onto the ball and then pressed it in and rotated it just a bit.
