Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake cupcakes and let them cool completely.
  • Make frosting and divide it into separate bowls and color it red, green, black.
  • Fill three separate piping bags with green, red and black colored frostings.
  • Attach tip # 104 to the green and red piping bags.
  • Attach tip # 3 to the black piping bag.
  • Hold the red pining bag at a 45 degree angle along the edge of your cupcake. Squeeze the bag and pull towards yourself and you will end up with a red "petal."Continue to do this all around the cupcake until you have a full row of red petals. Then, work your way inwards and make another row of red petals. Finally, pipe a few petals in the center of the cupcake.
  • To make the seeds, hold the black piping bag at a 45 degree angle.Squeeze the bag and then pull towards yourself.Do this a few times randomly on each red cupcake.
  • Repeat step 6 on a few cupcakes but this time, use green icing. Don't pipe the black seeds on these green cupcakes.  
  • Arrange the cupcakes in the shape of a watermelon. Enjoy!
