Watermelon

I love going to fun get-togethers that have lots of great food! And what better accompaniment to great food than a delicious dessert. Although these projects share the same theme, they were delivered to two different parties. I rarely bake cookies, but the challenge of a watermelon-themed cookie was too tempting to pass by! I was very glad with how these yummy sugar cookies turned out and the chocolate chip "seeds" gave the perfect touch:

The next challenge: a double layer vanilla cake with vanilla bean buttercream icing. The cake was trimmed and turned on its side, creating the perfect canvas for the 'watermelon' icing layers, and chocolate chips adorn the red colored section. The party host was delighted to receive her cake!
