I saw this on The National Watermelon Promotion Board website and thought it was just about the cutest idea ever!
I used a very small juice glass to cut 1 1/2 inch round from a piece of watermelon that I had sliced about an inch thick.
Then, whipped up some pineapple cream cheese frosting. Using 1/3 cup crushed pineapple, 1 package of cream cheese and 3-4 cups powdered sugar. This will frost at least 2 dozen "cupcakes". I didn't make that many because I wanted to save part of the frosting for another recipe.
The frosting needs to be on the thick side and everything needs to be nice and cold. I think it would even be a good thing to stick these in the freezer for a while to keep the frosting from sliding.

These would be great for a kid's summer pool party or birthday party!
I also wanted to share a photo that I took of my little garden strawberries. Tell me, is anything playing Hide and Seek in your garden right now? :0)

What a great idea! A healthy dessert with a touch of decadence. Love it! :)
These are fun!! And gorgeous little strawberries :)
Is that the cutest or what? Clever and delicious.
I was about to make something with watermellon for you, but then discovered my father finished it all. grrrr...
I have some zucchini playing hide and seek, they're still so small and tiny, as if they were refusing to grow too quickly and be eaten
This is the cutest idea. Great for a poolside party!!
Mmm, watermelon and pineapple, what a great idea! They turned out so cute!
Very clever to turn it into a cupcake. Healthy and delicious all that the same time.
That's so cool you have a little strawberry garden. Fresh picked off the vine. That's so awesome!!
Those are fabulous! One of those rare, precious times that people will appreciate the healthy version of an unhealthy treat :-)
There's a national watermelon promotion board?
Ooooooookay!
Those look delish! Perfect for a fourth of July picnik maybe?
Your strawberry picture is adorable! My strawberries are playing hide and seek also...let's hope they are good at hiding from the slugs.
Oh how fun! Very clever too. I was thinking WHAT type of batter gets that red?! haha thanks fro dropping by my blog the other day and leaving some comment love :) The montage of mine is quite as cool as yours but I am doing my best. I also saw you are the Apron Goddess. You are adorable! I love it!
Great for a party.

I just bookmarked this. Perfect for a big family 4th of July party - it is adorable and so pretty! And I want the baby strawberries - so sweet.
What a delicious idea!!!!
What a cute idea!! The pineapple frosting sounds divine!
Awww... so cute! What a great idea to make watermelon like cupcakes :)
I love this! So adorable! I haven't even bought a watermelon in quite a few years until this weekend and my daughter tried it for the first time and she loved it (her #2 fav fruit now after mango, she says). I will be making these for her tomorrow as I still have some watermelon left!
Kim... these cupcakes look so delicious! What a great idea. I love watermelon anyway and this is an even better way to enjoy it.
What a great idea!
What an adorable idea!! I've never seen anything like it. Love it!
Oh, how cute! I can see taking these in a container in a cooler, with maybe a can of whipped cream instead of frosting so you can top them off at the last minute! What a fun idea!
I love fruit! Nifty ideas........would love ideas for apples
