I am totally at a loss for ideas with this golf theme cake I have to do for Saturday! It is just an 8" round cake, with chocolate icing, so I'm thinking of green grass on the top.... I don't know what else. I can't find a golfer figurine anywhere, they didn't have any at Michael's, Walmart, the party store I looked at.... I don't have a sports ball pan so that's not an option. Does anyone have any pics/ideas that might help me?

TIA
Melissa

Melissa, sorry I can't help you to much except to say maybe a FBCT??
But, I did want to add how happy I am to see you back on CC, and to have a cake order is just great!

Well, I did a golf cart cake, it is my photos, but that is probably not what you are looking for. What about just baking a cake in a pyrex mixing bowl. Then decorate it like a golf ball. I did that with a soccer ball cake that is in my photos.

HTH,

why not use fondant or candy clay to make a golf balls with clubs. UI have a candy mold that i use fro my hubbies cake earlier in the month. Maybe you can find a mold like i did. maybe you can make a score card to go along wiht the alls and clubs out of fondant. Hope this helps

Wow i totaly missed that. How do you get chocolate icing green?????

I am thinking that the cake will have a base coat of chocolate icing, then she will make up some other icing (BC??) to color green and to decorate with.

That's how I read it anyway, but I guess only melissablack knows for sure...

I just did a 1/2 sports ball on a 9 inch square with real tees to set the candles on. Check out my pix and see if this helps. Heather

I would go with the green grass on top, fondant golf ball ( fondant ball poked all over to make the dents) then make a flag out of fondant and glue it to a sucker stick with royal icing. Let us know what you pick.

Thanks for the ideas! I ended up using a real golf ball, and a little paper flag on a stick, with grass (tip 233) around the ball and flag, and also along the bottom border.

I didn't have the money to buy stuff to make fondant... the cake already cost me more to make that what I charged 'cause I needed so many supplies. It's like I'm starting out again 'cause I don't have any supplies anymore so I'm not making any profit.

I will post a picture as soon as I figure out how to get them off my sister's digital camera!
