Watermelon CAKE!

This summer has been a hot one, a nightmare for cake decorators with outside weddings!  Buttercream starts melting at about 73-75 degrees, so you can imagine the anxiety I have when leaving a cake on a 90+ degree day. Needless to say I am ready for some chilly, fall weather!

Speaking of summer....what is more enjoyable than a bowl of watermelon on a hot day?  Watermelon CAKE!  It was my dad's birthday last Sunday and if you know my dad, you know he LOVES watermelon.  I decided that would be the perfect idea for his cake this year.  I even baked the inside to look like watermelon.  The cutting board is edible as well, it's fondant!
