Watermelon cake for my Birthday!

Saturday was my birthday and I requested a watermelon birthday cake that I had seen on the Pennywise blog.
My cute daughter Emily and my cute mom created this for me!

Fruits needed to make watermelon birthday cake

They used watermelon, cantaloupe, blueberries and limes.

They started by cutting the rind off the watermelon and cutting it into a large circle for the base.

Then they did the same thing with the cantaloupe.

Make sure the watermelon size works well the cantaloupe…not too big or too small.

They repeated this process making each layer a little smaller than the one below.

Decorating the birthday cake

With leftover pieces from each fruit, they used a cookie cutters to make scalloped circles and stars. 

Placing them all around the outside of the watermelon birthday cake.

Blueberries were used around the bottom of each layer to make it look like frosting dollops.

I could eat watermelon everyday couldn’t you?

How to create the top of the cake

The top piece of cantaloupe was tuned upside down so there was not a dip in the center.

For the cake “topper” they used a slice of lime, one big fat blueberry and a heart shaped piece of watermelon all on a toothpick stuck into the center.

Then they decided to add slices of lime all around the edges to add some color to the cake.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

    And isn't that the cutest idea ever!

    It has all the pizazz and wonder of a cake w/o all the fattening carbs and glutens.

    YAY! They did a great job!

  • Happy birthday! Mine was last Thursday -- I've always felt lucky to be born on 7/11. The watermelon cake looks wonderful and so healthy.
