A few weeks ago I got a call from one of my best friend’s since elementary school, Natasha. She needed some help making a birthday cake for her boyfriend and my fellow friend, Sean. So off to the kitchen we went! Sean is a big golfer, so we both agreed that a Titleist golf cake would be the best thing to make.
We made a rainbow bit cake box mix because we were a bit tight for time (set into two circle pans). We also used Saucy Sprinkle’s Box Cake Transformation Recipe. For the icing, we whipped up some delicious vanilla buttercream icing:
- 1 block of butter
- 1 bag of icing sugar
- 4 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp of whipping cream (35% cream)
- 1 tsp of Wilton butter flavouring
Whip the icing up until it is a nice smooth consistency. Add more icing sugar if it’s too runny, or add more cream if too thick.
To pipe the golf ball, we used a round flat icing tip and a very small, thin round flat tip for the Titleist logo (we also mixed the icing with Wilton black gel food coloring). For the grass, we used a grass tip and dyed the icing with a green and brown gel food coloring. However, it’s very important to tell everyone you individually piped each strand of grass π
I know this isn’t an overly detailed post, but if anyone has any specific questions, please don’t hesitate to ask in the comments. π
Happy Birthday Sean!
Carlene & Natasha
