This Watermelon Star Cake is one of the easiest of our Summer Watermelon Desserts recipes. Only ingredients are Watermelon, Fresh fruit and whipped topping.
This Watermelon Cake is a fun healthy way to celebrate Memorial Day or the 4th of July. OK, it’s not really a “cake” but it looks like one without lighting an oven. Summertime desserts are all about fresh cool ingredients and bright colors. This sweet cake is made with all fresh fruit and whipped cream topping and no baking.
We have made watermelon cakes in the shape of a star but it’s added work and it really is not as impressive as some of our other watermelon desserts. And this Watermelon Star Cake is made with all fresh ingredients to highlight the summer seasonal fruit.

We love watermelon desserts, whether it’s filling a parfait glass with melon balls or making this Watermelon Star cake and we hope you do also.
Lay your watermelon on it’s side and cut a 3-4 inch thick circular slice of watermelon. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully cut around the rind and remove it.
Use whipped topping to cover the top of the watermelon slice to resemble frosting on a cake.
.
Top the watermelon with blueberries and halved strawberries to resemble a five-point star. Save additional blueberries and strawberries to serve on the side.
Cut this Watermelon star cake in the same manner as a regular cake and serve it in slices. It’s a great alternative to sweet sugary cakes for potluck dinners or socials.
Serve each slice of this watermelon cake with additional whipped topping and blueberries or strawberries. And you can use store-bought whipped topping or make it yourself easily at home using a whipped cream maker from Amazon.
