Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Watermelon (seedless, large and round)
- 1 whole Cantaloupe
- 1 whole Pineapple
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 3 whole Kiwi
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- 12 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Using a sharp knife, remove the rind from the watermelon and cut it into a thick cylindrical 'cake base' shape about 4-5 inches high.
Slice the rind off the cantaloupe, cutting it into large round segments. Using a round cookie cutter or knife, create two smaller circles to layer onto the watermelon as the 'cake tiers.'
Peel and core the pineapple. Slice it into thin rings and set aside. Trim the rings, if necessary, so they can layer over the cantaloupe tiers.
Cut the strawberries into halves or thin slices. Peel and slice the kiwi into rounds.
Assemble the 'cake' by stacking the cantaloupe tiers on the watermelon base, then place pineapple slices on top of each cantaloupe layer.
Decorate the outside of the cake with halves of strawberries, kiwi slices, blueberries, and red grapes, arranging them in an appealing pattern. Use toothpicks to secure fruits in place if needed.
Garnish the top with a dollop of whipped cream (optional) and scatter a few mint leaves for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy for up to 4 hours. Slice and serve as you would a traditional cake.
