Easy Recipes-How to make a Watermelon Cake

Last weekend we celebrated my mom’s birthday. I asked her what kind of cake she wanted and she said she didn’t want a cake, just a watermelon since she is trying to lose weight for the wedding. Well, bringing a watermelon to a birthday party just didn’t feel right to me so I searched “watermelon cake” and found several fun ideas! Hubby and I went shopping and together we created a watermelon cake.

1. Cut the ends off of the watermelon to make it flat on both ends.

3. Place a paper towel on a large plate. Set the watermelon on the paper towel and place in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.

7. Decorate your “cake” as desired. Slice like a regular cake and serve cold.
