AKA, Gary Day. Gary loves golf, and I love cupcakes. Here’s the two put together.

You’ll need:

For the cupcakes:
(makes about 24 cupcakes)
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 stick of unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup 2% milk
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cupcake tin with liners. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, oil and vanilla. Set aside. Beat sugar and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time. Alternate adding the milk/oil mixture and the flour mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before icing.

For the icing:
2 4 oz white chocolate bars, chopped
32 oz powdered sugar, sifted
2 sticks of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of boiling water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt

Add 1/2 cup boiling water to the white chocolate bars. Whisk for 1-2 minutes, until smooth, and set aside to cool for 25-30 minutes. Beat white chocolate mixture with softened butter until white and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add powdered sugar and beat another 3 minutes.

For decorating:
Green food coloring
1 cup of graham cracker crumbs
Yellow and white fondant
1 chocolate chip
1 toothpick

Use piping back to outline the cupcakes, and fill in a base layer. Smooth evenly. Use Wilton tip 233 for grass and graham crackers for sand trap. Use the chocolate chip to make the hole, small fondant rounds for the golf balls and add yellow triangle to toothpick for flag.
