jonathan's birthday was in august. so of course, i made a cake. but the boy loves fruit, so i went with something i'd seen on the ever inspiring pinterest and made a surprise fruit cake. no, not the terrible kind you eat at christmas, but rather a cake made from fruit that looks like a cake but is really just a lot of fruit.
it starts with a medium sized watermelon. i cut off the top and bottom and then cut off the sides to form a cylinder
then i cut mine into two 'layers' and put the bottom layer on a platter
next i whipped up some cream with some sugar and vanilla and spread a layer on top of the watermelon and then topped it with kiwi and pineapple
and then another layer of whipped cream
followed by the second piece of cake, err watermelon
then i frosted the entire 'cake' in whipped cream
and decorated it with more fruit
and then a lot more fruit. i also drizzled some caramel sauce on it, because, why not?
doesn't look like a watermelon from here...
and the big reveal!
he was happy. obvi.
xoxo
