I baked 2 9 in round cakes for this Watermelon Cake Design. I used store bought white cake mix. Once it was cooled and chilled, I trimmed the rounded parts off the top. I then put icing on top of the bottom piece and then placed the top piece upside down on the bottom so that I had a flat surface and no crumbs.
I then cut the cake in half to make 2 slices of the “watermelon”. I covered both pieces in white icing and placed back in the fridge. I mixed up 1 can of frosting to the color of the inside of the watermelon using red orange and a little yellow. I then divided another can of white frosting into 3 bowls. One is light green, one is a darker green and the last one is an even darker green.
I frosted the rind the light green and overlapped it just a little bit. Then I marked off a 1/2 in strip with a toothpick to keep as the white. Then I frosted the red part. I used icing bags to pipe the medium green in thin lines down the rind and then did the same to the dark green, leaving some light green showing. I then used a frosting spatula and smeared the three green colors together.
I
used halved chocolate covered raisins as the seeds.
