  1. Delicious and a huge hit! the consistency is a little different than a boxed cake. I added blakc gel "seeds" to the top to make it look even better! I also used watermelon jello. And I added a little food coloring to the frosting to get the desired colors.
     
  2. I ended up making this twice thinking the first time I did something wrong. The first time I didn't grease or flour my Bundt pan and most of the cake ended up sticking to the pan. The second time the cake came out of the pan, but the outside was kind of crusty and hard (baked at 350 for 35 min) and the cooked watermelon was rubbery. The icing on the other hand was incredible would like to try it again on some other baked goodies.
     
  3. Great tasting cake,I used fruit fiesta jello but next time I'll use watermelon. Oven temp wasn't indicated so I baked at 350F.I also greased the bundt pan and let the cake cool for 10 mins and removed cake from the pan. I loved that frosting,it had a nice pink tint and had just the right amount of watermelon flavor.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite. Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
