Watermelon is 1/2 Cocoa Krispie (bottom) coated with chocolate to smooth out. Top half is cake carved to shape and covered with BC, then covered with fondant colored leaf green, then sprayed Kelly green with a couple of drops of black mixed in for the stripes. Sitting on a double layer of red velvet cake. Dowels are set so that the watermelon will settle in about 25%. This watermelon was 14 lbs so it settled fast. The krispie treat will crack if you don't let the watermelon settle in for support.
