Considering Kyle and I are both golfers (I’m a former college golfer), this set was one of my favorite of the year. It also helps that this particular set was for my brother and sister-in-law to reveal the gender of their first baby making it particularly special in my mind. One of the best things about being a baker that I have mentioned several times in past posts is getting to be part of special events in people’s lives including those of our own families.
This set, we were just asked to match the golf theme for the reveal and we ran with it. Our macarons are always popular at family functions, so we started there and stumbled across this adorable design on the internet. Using edible marker, I drew on all of the flags and ball flight path dashes while Kyle painstakingly put each golf ball on with a small dab of white chocolate to make it stick. Poor guy had to spend a lot of time with tweezers to finish all of them, but in the end it was worth it with how they turned out. Our flavors were simple for this one with chocolate espresso ganache and salted caramel.
