I know a lot of you food bloggers are already doing this, but you've got to check out pinterest.com. It's a really fun website full of ideas, and ways to file and bookmark your ideas for others to see. I've found a ton of great ideas, including these little babies.
I so wish I could have gotten a better picture of these, but when you're away from home and out of your element it doesn't always work out. The kids and I made these cake balls and they were as delicious as they were cute. I needed to hurry and post these because it's not too late, there's still two weeks left of summer, right? :)
Watermelon Cake Balls
Ingredients
1 strawberry cake mix, prepared according to directions
1 tub strawberry frosting, or vanilla frosting, colored red
1-1 1/2 chocolate chips
1 bag white almond bark
1 bad green chocolate melts (I like Wilton the best) or white chocolate colored green (be sure to add coloring BEFORE you melt it, otherwise the chocolate will seize)
Directions
Crumble cake mix into a large bowl. Add entire tub of frosting and chocolate chips, mix until completely combined. Roll into balls the size of a bouncy ball. Freeze for at least a half hour. Lay out a long sheet of wax paper on the counter. Melt your white chocolate (I usually melt the chocolate a third of the bag at a time). Using a spoon, completely dip the cake ball in chocolate, tapping off excess. Dry on wax paper. Repeat the same steps with green chocolate. Allow to dry and eat, after everyone admires the cuteness of course. :)

Brilliant idea! They are so darn cute!
Such a fun idea. I had the same problem getting a picture of my cut cake before the guests ate it all.

How cute! What a great idea!
Those are so cool! I'm glad they don't actually taste like watermelon cake, that would be weird. Strawberry works for me.
Well, you know I'm busy pinning....lol! It's so addicting. The problem is that I can't quit pinning long enough to actually do any of the things I pinned.
I'm glad to see that you got the chance to make these little cuties. I think they look adorable and I know the kiddos loved them! Plus, if you can manage to eat just one they can't be too bad for you, right?
These look really interesting and I'm sure my grandson's would enjoy them. They really are cute. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
