Just for fun, make a different kind of cake—one that’s made completely of fruit. It’s cool, delicious, and healthy too!
August Fruit Cake
1 watermelon (a seedless one works best)
1 cantaloupe
2 kiwis
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
coconut flakes (optional)
-
Have an adult cut the watermelon into slices, then cut each slice into fourths.
-
Have an adult cut the cantaloupe in half. Use a melon baller or spoon to make melon balls.
-
Have an adult help you peel the kiwis and cut them into slices.
-
Place the watermelon slices on a plate, forming a circle. Add another circle of melon wedges on top. Then add several more layers until your cake is the size you want it to be.
-
Decorate your cake by adding melon balls, kiwi slices, and berries.
-
If you would like, sprinkle coconut on top.
