My First Watermelon Birthday Cake made for a loved one who couldn’t eat cake because of dietary restrictions.

You may have already heard my story about how came up with the idea for my first watermelon cake. In a nutshell, we had invited a loved one over for dinner to celebrate her birthday. She had recently learned that she had cancer. In an effort to regain her health, she had immediately started a special diet that did not include cake. She could eat very few foods but she could eat fruit.

I pondered what kind of birthday cake – like dessert I could make with fruit and came up with an idea. I created a simple watermelon cake. Everyone got a kick out of it. It made for a sweet refreshing healthy dessert without frosting, refined sugar, butter, food coloring and other unwanted ingredients. We lit candles, sliced it, served it, and ate it like cake. Everyone loved it.

My loved one felt honored. She got to eat her “cake” instead of feeling left out and deprived. She took photos and showed them to many friends when she introduced me to them over the next few months. The success of that first cake motivated me to look around for more fruit ideas and that is when I discovered the art of fruit and vegetable carving.

After the success of that first watermelon cake, I came up with a few other watermelon cake ideas. The next watermelon cake that I made was for my daughter-in-law who is a marathon runner. She doesn’t eat cake and other sugary desserts when training for a marathon so on her birthday, I made another style of watermelon cake with carved roses on top.

What a buzz it created in the restaurant where we celebrated her birthday! Our waiter asked about the cake, the people at the tables next to us, admired it. A curious waitress from another area of the restaurant came over to see it. She was all excited to connect me to high end caterers in the area who were friends of hers who would love to buy cakes like that from me. Later when we lit the candles, that same waitress rushed over and asked if she could show our watermelon cake to her customers in another sections of the restaurant before we cut it up. All the attention that this watermelon cake got was quite amazing! But best of all, my daughter-in-law was able to enjoy her cake without ruining her runner’s diet and she felt special because I had taken the time to make this cake for her. All in all, it was another success.

Now, you can create these beautiful awe inspiring watermelon cakes for your loved ones. I will show you exactly how, step-by-step.
