Where I live, it gets hot. Really hot. On top of that, the humidity levels are always at 50% or higher. Therefore, anything that can offer even a momentary relief from the stifling pain is appreciated.
Like watermelon. Watermelon is a favorite flavor in my family during the hot summer months. This made me think, what about a watermelon dessert? A watermelon cake?
That's when I found this recipe from Taste of Home.
I made a few modifications (Err, covering up my mistakes), resulting in the below cake:
The reviews of the cake by my (large) family were good. I was not a huge fan of the taste because it reminded me of bubblegum. That being said, the very best reviews came from the youngest members of my family who enjoyed the very sweet taste.
I also picked up one of these cute watermelon knifes from Walmart to cut the cake with:

This super-cute cake is actually the look I was originally going for, but my homemade fondant turned into more of a frosting. See the tutorial from Wilton here.
These watermelon cake-pops are a perfect idea and may be purchased at Natalies Cake Pops.
I love the use of jelly beans on this beautiful cake from Betty Crocker!

I love the light look of this sherbet watermelon pie from Jane at This Week for Dinner.
Happy summer!
