This red, white and blue, 4th of July watermelon cake with fireworks on top is just so cute I had to share it. These photos were sent to me by a customer/student of mine, Rose Flores. She is so creative.
Spectacular red white and blue watermelon cake by Rose Flores
This is what Rose had to say about her fanciful 4th of July cake:
Hope you have a wonderful 4th of July Celebration. ..thought I would try something different and easy for my carving this year …I was looking for. something fun and whimsical….my daughter called it “a Willy Wonka Cake”….I actually had to re-carve the two top layers over again….after cutting away the outer and inner skins I discovered that the watermelons were way over ripe….I guess finding the right carving melon was not as easy as I had thought….never had this happen before, but most likely I will run across this again in the future….any way, enjoy your day.”
-Rose Flores
From the looks of these photos, I never would have guessed that she had some frustration finding the right watermelons. I love the whimsical way she carve her watermelons to make a wonky uneven cake. The added details of the stars and stripes is so well done. And, I especially love the way she put blueberries on the ends of wires to make a fireworks looking effect.
