Golf Course Cake (October 2010)

Chocolate cake filled and iced with buttercream. Brown sugar for sand traps and sugar pearls for golf balls. The tee-off markers and the flag are toothpicks.

Lesson learned:

• Grass is easy to make with the Wilton grass tip but the heat of my hand started melting the butter in the icing as I was piping, making it a gooey mess in places. Either put the icing back in the fridge once in a while, or use a different kind of icing.
