Hole-In-One Cupcakes: A Fun Father’s Day Treat

Sharing is caring!

Are you ready for Father’s Day?! It’s only a few days away or less if you are celebrating early like us. Today, we are celebrating the special day with my Father-In-Law by having a picnic at the beach. I wanted to bring a fun treat along and since ‘Golf’ seems to be the theme of this year’s Father’s Day I thought it would be appropriate to make a golf themed dessert.

I was having the hardest time coming up with a kid friendly and creative dessert until I remembered these amazing Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes from House of Hepworths. But instead of doing the traditional ice cream cones, I put my own flair on them! Father’s Day style, a Hole In One Cupcakes!

Golf Cupcake

Meet my Hole-In-One Cupcakes! These are an easy yet fun way to celebrate Father’s Day and let your dad/husband know that the day is all about him!

I know Father’s Day is just a few days away, but these require very few ingredients (in fact you may already have them on hand) and they take no time at all! Ok, the little frosting dots took a little time but it goes by fast :)

All you need is a box of cake mix (or homemade batter if you have time), ice cream cones and frosting (pictured above). And IF possible, toothpicks, piping bag and some paper for the flags.

Golf Cupcakes

1. I put my cupcakes in a cake pan, they didn’t take up the entire space but I didn’t have anything smaller and thankfully all of the cones were still standing in the end!

2. I poured the batter into a zip lock bag and cut the tip off one corner.

3. I started by filling them a little over halfway full (like the picture), but added little more batter later to make them bigger than the cones. If/when I do this again I’ll fill the cones about 85% full to make them rounder.

4. I placed them in the oven and baked for 20 minutes. You’ll notice that they were a little messy at first but the cake cleans up pretty easily and the frosting covers most imperfections. Let’s just be honest, it all tastes the same :)

5. I used vanilla frosting from a jar and placed it into a piping bag with a circle tip. I imagine you could use a zip lock bag for this as well, but I wanted to make sure my dots were complete circles.

6. I started in the center and worked my way around the cupcake and out toward the edges. It was a little tedious, I won’t lie.

I made the flags using a basic construction paper, a marker, tape and a toothpick. And you got yourself a hold-in-one!

Golf Cupcakes

Aside from Father’s Day, these would also make a great treat for a golf team or golf themed party! So ‘pin’ them for later!

Note: If you are a regular reader of DDD, you may know that almost all my recipes are generally gluten-free, but THESE ARE NOT GF. Just wanted to point that out, I don’t want any of you getting sick :)

Hope all of you have a wonderful Father’s Day weekend, have fun honoring your dads, grandpas and hubbies!

It always amazes me how just a few small changes c It always amazes me how just a few small changes can make such a difference! And those few differences can really take a room to a whole new level! You can swipe to see the differences in this pic! Same room, same angle, I used left over paint to change the wood accent wall to black, switched out the throw pillows and chandelier to ones I already had, and added hung a picture from the other side of the room. That’s it! And it’s a whole new look! I’m sharing more details on the blog today with lots of links!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
