    I've seen this several times but never realized it was stabilized whipped cream. No wonder it stays nice and doesn't slide off. Thank you for including that most important detail. Just lovely - and it would be a great way to have a lower calorie cake for those of us who need to watch those things or just want less wheat. Woohooo.

    If you want to do this and make it healthier use Greek yogurt as icing ;)

    • @nyxxie023
      @nyxxie023 9 років тому +13

      That actually sounds better because the frosting might be too thick and taste weird with the watermelon. But greek yogurt would go perfect.

    everyone saying "why" or "slice of disappointment"... tbh i'd rather eat this than a real cake any day. i don't really like cake that much, it's too sweet. this would be a perfect alternative!

    great tips on patting the watermelon dry and using stabilized whipped cream. Lately a few people I know tried to make this but did not know these steps and the cream slid right off. This is a great pass along tip! Thanks

  • @AppleyApple1

    @nettieshiffer5381 10 років тому

    I think this is so cute. I think there's nothing wrong with a little extra sometimes. Why not add some flare to your everyday watermelon. It's really not bad unless your eating the whole thing yourself!
    I love it. Can't wait to try this!

    I saw this idea in a cooking magazine just the other day. I am not very fond of watermelon the fruit. Flavored things I enjoy very much, but this is a great alternative to a dessert for people if they are trying to eat healthier and they are craving something sweet.

  • @warriorcat258

    @MsDreamcakes 10 років тому +1

    Oh my gosh!!! I have seen this and wanted to give it a try but never have. It looks awesome Tammy (I've been misspelling your name I just saw it in the description box, oops). You always make the coolest stuff! I just used some unflavored gelatin to make some bubbles for a cake do you find that the gelatin has a horrible smell or maybe I didn't use the same thing you have? I know once my bubbles dried it has NO smell at all so I would assume once it's mixed into the cream that smell goes away? I want to make one of these with Clay, he would love it!!! =}

    • @yoyomax12
      @yoyomax12  10 років тому +1

      I have received a couple of comments from people about the odour that gelatin has. I have never noticed anything unpleasant about the smell, to me it smells like gelatin? I guess it is a nose sensitivity thing, it has never bothered me. No problem with the name thing :)

    • @MsDreamcakes
      @MsDreamcakes 10 років тому

      yoyomax12 - the diet free zone Maybe it's a brand thing? I bought the off brand from our local store, maybe if I buy a name brand it wouldn't be so unpleasant? I remember being told growing up that jello was made from horse and cow hooves so when I was gagging making those bubbles I googled it. It said it is made from cow and pig bones and skin boiled down, and that's exactly what it smelled like too, a decomposed animal. I don't think you could miss that smell so I'm going to buy a different brand next time, hopefully one like yours! lol =}
