I didn't have a lot of equipment to make it with, all I had was a few colour pastes, flower cutter, a ball tool and an edible black pen. So again I was very surprised at how easy it was.
I used a ten inch round cake and cut it out how I wanted it (I cut out a circular hole for the mole about 1 inch across and about 2cm deep). I then covered it with a thin layer of butter cream icing and then rolled out the green fondant and covered the cake; I got a few cracks in the bottom of the cake so I covered it with flowers to cover up these cracks. For the bushes I put a lump of green fondant in a sieve and pushed it through to create a leafy effect, which I thought looked rather effective.
For the golf club I used a black piece of fondant and molded a black handle and cut a few slits in it and used the ball tool to create circle dents in it. For the club I used a white piece of fondant and molded it into the shape of a club, this was rather difficult for a first timer but I got it right in the end. In the flat part of the club I cut a few slits in it to look like ridges. I then painted the club with food paste because it was easier than making the fondant that colour.
For the mole, I placed a small amount of grey fondant in the hole that would support the head higher than the cake. I then molded the head into a flatten cone shape and then added the arms which were black sausage shapes with slits cut into it that look like paws. I added the arms and then drew the face on the mole. I then made a ball of white fondant and used the ball tool to put holes in it and then I put it on top of the moles head. I then roles out a thin piece of white fondant and put it round the mole.
I was very happy with this cake and was very surprised at how it came out as it was my first decorate cake.
