My daughter made this cupcake golf course for her dad's birthday. The idea is from the book "What's New, Cupcake?"
Here's a yummy vanilla cupcake recipe. The golf ball is a small round mint dipped in corn syrup and then rolled in white nonpariels.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line muffin tins with muffin papers.
Mix 1 cup butter until smooth and creamy. Add 2 cups sugar. Mix well. Add 4 eggs, mixing well after each egg.
In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups cake flour or all-purpose flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3 teaspoons baking powder. Add to the batter a little at a time, alternating the four mixture with 1 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring, and 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring.
Pour batter into paper muffin liners. Bake for 15 minutes (20 minutes in a non-convection oven). Remove from pans to cool. Frost. The golf green is made by dipping the frosted cupcake in green sugar. The rough is made with green frosting piped with a pastry bag. The sand is made by dipping the frosted cupcake in crushed vanilla wafer cookies. (Place the vanilla cookies in a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.) The hole is an upside-down chocolate kiss. We placed the cupcakes on green cardboard to add to the golf course design.
Yield: 24 cupcakes
