This baby cart-shaped watermelon is always a hit at baby showers! It looks more complicated than it is, just follow the steps and look at the photos!! It’s amazing!
First, make a cut at the bottom of the watermelon to create a flat surface so it doesn’t move (you should cut very little, just the green/white part).
Place the watermelon on a cutting board or a clean, flat surface.
With a knife, mark where you will make the first cut from the middle lengthwise (only halfway), and then from there up. You can see photo #2 to see how it should look.
Once you have the basic shape of the cart, you need to remove all the fruit from the center. I do this with a round melon baller and scoop out watermelon balls (it looks nicer), but you can really do it however you like.
Once the watermelon is clean and empty, take a sharp knife and make cuts in the shape of Vs like this: vvvvvvvvvv to give that texture to all the edges. You can see the original photo to see how it looks.
Then, make the handle of the cart from the piece of watermelon that was cut off. Stand up the piece you removed and slice it about 2 cm thick.
To attach it, we need to make v cuts, like two VV, so it fits with the help of a toothpick into the watermelon.
Then, with toothpicks, attach the wheels and secure them with some grapes (or any fruit you like).
Finally, fill it with your favorite fruits: watermelon, melon, pineapple, strawberries, etc.
