Ingredients:

seedless watermelon
Rockmelon
Kiwifruit
Blueberries
Strawberries

Instructions:

Step 1. Slice a cross section of whole seedless watermelon around 10-12cm in thickness. Trim the green skin off all the way around so you have straight sides. Place on a serving platter. Peel kiwifruit and slice crossways.

Step 2: Cut 5mm cross sections of rockmelon and use cookie cutters in a small star and heart shape to cut pieces out. Place around the sides of the “cake” using toothpicks to anchor these in. Arrange some on top as well.

Step 3: Place blueberries around the sides of the cake and secure with toothpicks.

Step 4: Slice strawberries and arrange on top.
