Golf Cupcakes

These golf cupcakes are super easy to make, in fact, if you are short on time, you can even just add this cute design to store bought cupcakes. (shhhh…I won’t tell!) If you do go the shortcut route to make these golf themed cupcakes – all you will need are white golf tees to put in the centre of the cupcake, white gum balls, frosting and green food coloring. (or use the homemade green buttercream frosting recipe below)

If you do want to enjoy the rewards of homemade cupcakes, I have included full directions below for making these darling golf cupcakes and the icing from scratch!

Yellow Cupcake Ingredients

2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup of unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cup granulated sugar

3 whole eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2/3 cup whole milk

 

Yellow Cupcake Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Grease muffin pan or line pan with paper cups

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar for about three minutes.

Add the eggs to the creamed butter, one at a time. Mix well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Using a mixer on low speed, add half of the flour and then half of the milk. Mix till well incorporated.

Repeat step 7 with the remaining flour and milk.

Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full.

Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool in pan for 10 minutes.

Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to complete cooling process.

Frost with icing when completely cooled.

*you could also a box cupcake mix like chocolate cupcakes or other flavors.

How to Make GRASS Icing on Cupcakes

Fill 3/4 decorating bag with green icing and attach a Wilton #233 tip. (this is the grass tip most recommended)

Hold the decorating piping bag straight up and squeeze to create a glass blade.

Immediately after squeezing pull up and away when the icing strand is about 1/2 inch. Stop squeezing and pull tip away.

Be sure to keep the strands together so none of the cupcake shows through.

NOTE: for a more natural grass look, you can pull the tip slightly to the left or right.

Insert a golf tee in the middle of each cupcake.

Tips for Making Golf Cupcakes

For the golf ball, you can use a large white gumball OR Lindt white chocolate truffle (you will need to unwrap each individual truffle) and place on top of the golf tees. I also think you could make fondant golf balls if you have experience with fondant, which I do not. No need for a store bought golf cupcake topper, when you can make your own, right? 

*also note: if you are worried about the “golf ball” falling off, a dab of frosting on the top of the golf tee should do the trick to hold it in place.

If you are transporting the cupcakes to the event or party, you can add the golf tee and ball to the cupcake once you arrive at your destination. I usually like to transport my cupcakes in cupcake cases.
