Golf Ball Cake

I made this Golf Ball cake for my golf enthusiast husband’s birthday.

I used the Wilton sports ball pan and a 10×10 square pan. I used white cake mixes and followed the instructions for baking.

I then used white frosting for the ball, I let it sit for a few hours to harden a little before I put the dimples in the ball, it made it a little easier to add the dimples.

I tinted frosting green and then frosted the sides of the square cake smooth. I set the ball cake on top of the square cake and then using tip #233 I frosted the rest of the cake to look like grass. I also frosted around the bottom of the square cake where it touched the platter.

HUGE hit, as most of the family are into golf too!

  1. I just used the handle end of a wooden spoon, just don’t press too hard or it will go all the way to the cake and you’ll be able to see cake.

    I was looking for a golf theme cake for my Dad this year. Last year I made him a golf course cake so I wanted to try something different. Think I’ll use your idea.

    Thanks again!

  4. My two visiting grandchildren (5 & 3) wanted to make a special cake for grandpop’s birthday: “How about a golf cake?!” Yikes…I went right to the internet for ideas. Your cake looks just perfect. I will purchase the Wilton sports pan at Michael’s and we’ll have a fun day preparing for the “surprise party”…”Shh, don’t tell grandpop!”

  6. That must have been very time consuming to add all the dimples… I wonder if there is an easier way? Great cake by the way. I am making one for a wedding shower and was looking for ideas, yours is the top of the list!
