Watermelon Cake

So when I heard donate a cake for the cake walk, or course I knew I would do it. Only problem was what kind of cake. After looking for a little while, I stumbled upon this cake and knew the kids would love it and I knew I had to do it. It's very simple, and oh so cute :)

What you need:
White Cake Mix (plus ingredients on pkg)
Red Food Coloring
1 cup Chocolate Chips plus a few to poke in cake top
White Frosting
Green Food Coloring
Filling of your choice
Green food coloring marker

What you do:
Prepare boxed caked mix as directed on box. Add red food coloring until desired color, I like a more pink color rather than a bright red color. Mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips. Pour batter into 2 8 or 9 inch circle baking pans. Bake per cake box directions. Check with toothpick, when comes out clean, take out of oven. Let them sit for a 5 minutes and then flip out onto a cooling rack. While still a little warm, cut the top off of one of the rounds, and then poke a handfull on chocolate chips in to look like the 'seeds' in the water melon.
When cakes are completely cool. Put un-cut cake on bottom, fill with filling of choice (I used chocolate frosting). And put cut cake, cut side up on top. Before you turn your frosting green use a small amount and pipe white around the edge of the cake. Now turn your frosting green :) Not too dark, and after whipping frosting let it sit in the fridge for a few minutes to harden back up.
To frost just the edges of the cake, I throw the frosting a zip lock bag, and snip a good chunk of the corner off, and just pipe around the cake, At this point I don't worry about what its looking like too much LOL. I put the whole cake in the fridge for about 5 minutes or so to let it harden up a bit again. Now I take a hard spatula or frosting knife and I scrap all the way around the cake, so the frosting smooths out and is only on the edge of the cake. Now with the Food coloring marker, I make 'vein' marks or whatever those dark green spots on the water melon are :) And then you are done :)
