Golf Cake!

This year, my husband's birthday and Father's Day occurred on the very same day, which called for a very special birthday/Father's Day cake.  My daughters and I decided to create this golf cake, in honor of his favorite hobby.

I used crushed Nilla wafers for the sand trap, a pearl candy bead for the golf ball, and a long toothpick with flag made of yellow card stock to display his age. The trees are ice cream sugar cones turned upside down and decorated with dark green icing using the flower tip. The water is blue Funfetti icing using the basket tip, and the various shades of green were achieved using dark green icing, light green frosting and mixing them both with fluffy white icing.
