a hole in one

My dad's birthday was last week and my mom and I made him some yummy cupcakes! He's loved golfing throughout his life, so we decided to try something fun!

We made the cupcakes into a mini golf course! This course was complete with grass, a sandpit, the green, and a mini ball. We used a pipping tip for the grass, and my mom quickly became an expert! I drizzled a sweet milk mixture on top of plain cupcakes and then sprinkled graham cracker crumbs on top to make them look sandy. I'm sure you could frost the cupcakes in white lightly, and use that instead of the milk mixture. For the green we just smoothly frosted some cupcakes and my mom put a grass trim as a finishing touch. The flag is made with a portion of a skewer and some blue painting tape, and the ball is a small bit of a mini marshmallow.
My dad loved the cupcakes and my mom and I had a blast putting a twist on this delicious dessert!
