Hi, I have just been asked to do golf themed cupcakes.

I've looked in the gallery but I can only see large cakes.

Does anyone have any ideas for me, please?I work better from pictures if you have any.

Any help would be appreciated.

how about using a chocolate mold to do the golf balls and place them on top of green icing piped to look like grass. If you look in my photos at my golf cake you can see the molded golf balls, hard to tell in pic but the mold had different things on the top of the ball like the words par, eagle etc. HTH

Or you could mold them out of fondant and us tip to get the texture of the ball.

Well, you can do cupcakes like the ornament cupcakes that were so popular this past holiday season, or half-ball cakes with the following decorations:

Cover with white fondant.
Any writing should be painted or stamped on before embossing.
Emboss to put the dimples on with a grater, like we do to make the dimples in marzipan or fondant molded oranges or lemons.

You could even do this with buttercream, but you would have to freeze them and get the icing hard before you write on them, or try embossing them.

I found these on the internet somewhere, sorry I can't remember who made them!
