Cakes made with fresh watermelons are are beautiful, healthy and refreshing summer dessert, perfect for birthdays and other special occasions.
Examples of cakes taught in Nita’s Watermelon Cakes video lessons
In 2011, I created some video lessons on how to make several types of beautiful cakes made with fresh watermelons. Since publishing these lessons, I’ve received hundreds of photos from readers and students from all over the world.
It’s fun for me to see how so many people have used my simplest watermelon cake lesson and have added all different fancy variations of their own. This article shows fresh watermelon and fruit cake ideas from students and readers that I have not yet published. I hope that you enjoy getting some ideas of your own from these photos of cakes made with fresh watermelon. We’ll begin with simple cakes and progress to the more fanciful, multi-tiered birthday cakes.

Simple Cakes Made with Fresh Watermelons
These first cakes are the simplest easiest fresh watermelon cake that I teach with individual touches added by each person.
This fresh and pretty watermelon cake was made by Christelle Ngounou. She added fancy trim at the bottom using the Corrugated U-Cutters, then topped her cake with cucumber flowers.
Eva Reyes carved slices of Kiwi into flowers to decorate the side of her watermelon cake. The chocolate covered strawberries on top are a nice touch, too.
Bharti Trivedi topped her 1st fresh watermelon cake with a B carved into a piece of watermelon rind.

Mirella Anceschi from Modena Italy with her multi-tiered fresh watermelon cake.
I love this red, white and blue watermelon cake made by Joelybelle McCoy. The starfruit slices make perfect stars for decorating the sides of the top layer. What a great idea. Joelybelle made this pretty cake for the 4th of July.
Tala Talakoub made her 3 tier fresh fruit cake for a friend’s party and got lots of ooohs and aaahs.
Fanciful Birthday Cakes Made with Fresh Watermelons
Yun Jung’s created this fanciful cake made from fresh watermelon and fruit for her mother-in-law’s 79th Birthday celebration
Susan Belden created this fanciful fresh fruit cake and fruit tray for a 100th birthday celebration.
This was for a 100th birthday party for Mildred.
The party was for a woman that ran the hospital gift shop for 25 years as a volunteer. She’s in an assisted facility now but my little hometown hospital that I work at has never forgotten her and had a nice 100th birthday party for her the other day. She is still so with it that when she gave us the names of the people that she wanted us to invite she also rattled off each and every one of their addresses off the top of her head!! She and everyone else were very much impressed with her fruit display….so much so that she insisted that we deliver it to her facility so that she could show it off to the other residents there. Thank you so much Nita for everything that I have learned to do through your amazing videos.
Susan Belden
Here is a closer look at the top of Susan’s cake. She topped it with watermelon roses that are taught in my lessons, “Carving Watermelons, Roses, Buds and Leaves“.
