Watermelon Baby Carriage

Awwww...what a perfectly, yummy centerpiece for a Baby Shower!  Paul Parks, an accomplished cook (his dinners are “to die for”) transformed an ordinary watermelon into this magical looking, scrumptious, Watermelon Baby Carriage!  


This is a fantastic treat for everyone!  It's "eye candy" but in addition, it's fabulously healthy!  What a great treat for children, adults, and especially for us who can't eat gluten!  This is simply a "match made in heaven!"


Okay...so how does one make this gorgeous treat?  (I knew you would ask that!!!) So, just for you . . . I searched far and wide and found this  terrific YouTube Video that shows how to carve a watermelon, step-by-step, into a Watermelon Baby Carriage




What fun!  Let me know how your Watermelon Baby Carriage turns out, okay?  Smiles,  Lynn

Thank you sooo much!! I followed your recipe for the scandinavian chocolate torte, which I offered for dessert yesterday, everyone absolutely loved it, they couldn't believe it was GF!! Going through your blog I spotted your gorgeous baby shower cake. I'm intending to make a similar one for my niece's first birthday in july, can I just ask what type of cake did you use and how many cakes did you bake per layer? again, a big THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful recipes with the world!!! xx love from Ozland!!

Hi Tania! Wahoo! I'm so GLAD that everyone loved your Scandinavian Chocolate Torte! YES!

My talented sister-in-law, Val, made the adorable baby shower cake! Lately, she has been using my carrot cake recipe for her wedding and baby shower cakes! (My carrot cake recipe makes two-eight inch round layers, or 1 ten inch and 1 six inch round layer or 1 9x13x2 oblong.)

Val usually makes two layer cakes, but single layer cakes are adorable also! The amount of cake batter you will need will depend on how big or small you make your cake.

You can use your favorite recipe for any vanilla or chocolate cake. You may even want to consider making the Scandinavian Chocolate Torte again (without the chocolate glaze if you want to cover the cake with fondant!) What fun!

Tania, I would LOVE to hear how your niece's first birthday cake turns out! I bet it will be fabulous!

Happy GF Baking! Big hugs to you! THANKS for writing! Lynn
