How to Turn a Watermelon into a Cat Centerpiece with Video

How many of you watch Rachel Ray’s TV show? I do once in awhile, but husband is a big fan and will watch as often as he can! Last month when we were on vacation he would get up early in the morning and get his Rachel fix before we walked out the door.

For our July 4th family get-together he wanted to do something fancy with our watermelon. He had seen other people carve theirs into beautiful sculptures and wanted to give it a try. For some ideas he went to the Rachel Ray website and found exactly what he wanted.

On the website you’ll find the How to Turn A Watermelon into an Adorable Cat Centerpiece Video. He watched the video and made a few little notes and then headed into the kitchen. I wasn’t allowed to watch him “work” so once he was done (about 30 minutes later) he called me into the kitchen to see his masterpiece.

Wow…I was really impressed with his watermelon carving skills! His cat turned out fantastic and all of our party guests complimented him on it. It sure looked adorable sitting on our picnic table and I think he did a wonderful job making it.

The family will be getting together again for our annual Labor Day picnic, so my husband will be in-charge of designing the watermelon centerpiece. He’s already on the hunt for the design that he wants to try next. Have you ever carved your watermelon into a fun design?
