Healthier Alternatives
Take a watermelon, cut off both ends. Cut off all the rind, trim flat on top and bottom.
Stand up on end and place on large platter. Pat the sides dry with a papertowel and "frost" with whipped coconut milk or lite Cool Whip. Decorate with fresh fruit!
Watermelon cake!

Re: Healthier Alternatives
That is so neat!! I suppose you'd use a
"seedless" watermelon? I don't guess it
would matter though.

We thought this one was seedless, but it wasn't, but you're right it really doesn't matter - - once you slice it, it's just like eating watermelon anyway.
I was surprised how many enjoyed having that option over the cupcakes.

Re: Healthier Alternatives
Yummy! What keeps the whip from sliding off the wet melon? Also, did you use Cool Whip or whipped coconut milk?

I used a paper towel to pat it "dry" - - it didn't slip off at all. I used Cool Whip.
This was about 10" high, so I used two containers of Cool Whip.

Re: Healthier Alternatives
Curse those Twinkies!
I'm building my supplies of good things.....got coconut flour, coconut oil, faxseed flour, home raised fresh eggs, clean, lean beef and of course, weekly I go to the Farmer's Market for all their fresh fruits and veggies.
The only downfall to eating better requires me to cook/prepare everyday - trying to adjust to that since I've been used to a bowl of cereal for dinner.
