With Father’s Day being so close to my husband’s birthday, I get to brainstorm gifts for him while shopping for dad.  It’s super convenient since my dad and my husband are always so hard to shop for!  I usually start brainstorming gift ideas by first thinking about their hobbies.  Golf is a big hobby of my husband’s.  

I’m not much of a golfer – aside from mini golf – so I usually leave shopping for golf gear to the hubs.  If I do get him a golf-themed gift, it’s usually a gift card to a sporting goods store or a golf polo shirt.  But my husband also has a bit of a sweet tooth.  So another perfect gift for him is always some homemade baked goodies!

So I had the idea to bake a simple vanilla cupcake and turn it into a golf-themed dessert.  The best part?  All you need is boxed cake mix, green icing, and a little creativity!  I might not know much about the game of golf itself, but I can definitely make a cupcake a hole-in-one dessert!  

I found the cutest golf picks at Oriental Trading, along with a few other supplies I needed to make these cupcakes. After the cupcakes were baked, I used a star tip to add textured frosting on top.  I’ve been using my piping bag a lot lately! Using a piping bag isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. All it takes is a little practice and you’ll soon get the hang of it! It always gets a little messy for me (especially using colorful frosting), but that’s all part of the fun!

I found cupcake liners with a grassy design on them.  You could use golf-themed cupcake liners or green cupcake liners.  These cupcakes became a golfer’s delight by sticking white golf tees in half of the cupcakes. Then, I stuck golf flag picks in the other half.  A white gumball was popped on top to take the place of a golf ball.  They also give these cupcakes another fun, edible element!

 
If you’ve got an avid golfer in your family, they’ll definitely love these golf-themed cupcakes!  Shop for some of the supplies needed to create these fun cupcakes on Oriental Trading!
