ingredients for the perfect golf cake

Cake – try Triple Chocolate Cake
Filling - Whipped Chocolate Ganache is heavenly
a batch of buttercream
brown gel food color
Green candy melts
Chocolate cookie crumbs (Oreos are good)
One brand new golf ball
Cake plate or board to display your Golf Birthday Cake(s)

Cook's Note: Don't be tempted to substitute regular chocolate for the candy melts - it doesn't hold up well at all.

first steps to a successful golf cake

bake the cakes and cool completely.
level the cakes and split each into two layers horizontally.
fill and assemble each cake on a separate cake circle and secure with a dollop of frosting to stop it from sliding around.
add a crumb coat - this is a very thin coat of un-tinted buttercream you apply to 'set' the crumbs.
refrigerate the cake(s) while you make the Chocolate grass decorations.

making Chocolate Grass

melt the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until completely melted.
using the back of a spoon, smear some strips of melted chocolate about 1/8 inch thick on to a piece of wax paper, as shown (below left).
let set for about 30 minutes then, using a large knife, cut randomly across the strip of chocolate to make small shards, as shown (below right). It’s that simple – now you have grass!

Golf Cake assembly

tint half the buttercream a light brown.
frost the top and sides of your Golf Cake(s) with the Light Brown frosting.

If you’re making a tiered caked, this is where you stack the smaller cake on the larger one and secure with a dollop of frosting

position your cake(s)on a cake plate or board and secure the cardboard round with double-sided tape to stop it from sliding around.
take a spoon or a small spatula and press the cookie crumbs all around the sides and top of the cake in a thick layer.
add some crumbs around the base of the cake for a more natural look.
randomly place the chocolate shards into the frosting in varying heights and groups to form the grass.

put a few ‘clumps’ of grass on the top of the cake, as shown, for the ball to rest in.
position the ball where you want it in the cake and secure with a dollop of buttercream.

You're done! Now go get a well deserved cup of coffee and sit back for a few minutes to admire your handiwork. Remember to take a picture while your masterpiece still looks perfect.
