Not\u00a0five miutes after I posted some fruit themed cover photos to Facebook<\/a>, Google+<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> than one of my friends posted this picture of\u00a0the\u00a0Birthday Fruit Cake that her daughter made her for her birthday.<\/p>\n

That does not look like \"my mama's fruit cake\"! Here are\u00a0Caitlyn's directions:<\/p>\n

It's one big and one small watermelon, 1 mango, 1 cantaloupe, 1 pineapple, 3 kiwi and it originally asked for blueberries but I used grapes! Cool Whip (low fat) is what I used to keep the cantaloupe and watermelon together!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fresh and beautiful! Nice job, Caitlyn. And a belated\u00a0Happy Birthday, Maria! I won't say which one, because we are the same age - ha ha!<\/p>\n

And if you are looking for some other fun things to do with watermelon this summer how about:<\/p>\n

The National Watermelon Promotions Board<\/a> has a plethora of creative carving ideas.<\/p>\n

Do you have any fun ways of serving fruit aside from smashing it a la Gallagher? Please share.<\/p>\n

Until next time, happy eating.
