Heading off for our vacation, and the second stop on it is my Dad's place. His birthday was at the beginning of the month, when he was out of town. I had told him I would make him a cake but since I don't think he reads this, I doubt he knew what I meant when I said it. I'm sure the thought it would be a boxed cake with canned icing, not very fancy.
Think he'll be surprised?
Golf is one of his favorite things to do, as well as what he does for a living.
I intended this to be slightly rustic looking, with dips and divots in the golf course, along with a sand trap and a water hole, complete with sunken ball in the water trap.
The cake itself, btw, comes from a Today's Parent recipes, which can be found here.
And with the cake done, the bags packed, my family and I are off on vacation tomorrow morning. We will be gone for a few weeks, so no new posting from me during that time, though there will be cooking still, and lots of food involved!
See you late July!
Last cake before I go
