Most cakes that look like rainbows don't taste like rainbows, but this watermelon cake looks and tastes like watermelon. This recipe and cake decoration by Bird On a Cake is visually fascinating and will blow your taste buds, too. As watermelons are the perfect fruit to slice open on a sunny summer day, a slice of this watermelon cake would be a fitting for a summer gathering.
The cake is topped off with frosting with pink and green food coloring dye to mimic the colors of a watermelon. It is sprinkled with dark chocolate chips to resemble seeds. To give the cake its flavor, watermelon puree made of blended watermelon chunks and artificial flavoring from Jell-O is used. The full pictorial as well as written instructions are available on the Bird On a Cake blog.
