Fore!!!!.... or in this case, the fourth. On this cute baby shower cake, I put a "4" on the flag to show that this is the lucky Mom-to-be's fourth child,.... and first son. : ) Let's start at the top. The flag and ball are made of fondant, and I used a little rounding tool to make indents to mimic a real golf ball. I decorated the top with icing "grass", creating a fun golf course scene. Next was hand sculpting the fondant golf bag, my favorite part of the design. I painted the clubs with edible silver, and used toothpicks for the handles. "Welcome Lil' Caddie" was iced onto a fondant piece, and placed front and center. I covered the bottom tier with an argyle design, using white fondant for the triangles, and piping on blue stitches. It took a long time to create the pattern, and try to get all the stitching even,... but I loved how it turned out. Congratulations Katie!
