Anyone for Golf?!!

So this is something a little different from me, a 50th Birthday cake for a big fan of golf so I thought I'd keep it simple but effective and create a golf ball cake.

Made from two half-sphere chocolate cakes and sandwiched and covered in chocolate buttercream, this was one yummy cake.

Before putting the sugarpaste on, circles of cake were spooned out from all around the sphere to create the gold ball effect.

The cake was then secured to a cake board which was piped in green royal icing using a grass nozzle before the writing was added to the ball.

The cake then travelled down to Birmingham before being presented to Mike at his 50th birthday celebration!
