Have you ever known anyone that doesn’t like watermelon?  Well now you do!  I don’t really care for watermelon as a fresh fruit.  If it is in something like this Watermelon Cupcake Recipe, now that is a different story!

Watermelon Cupcake Recipe

Part of my dislike is the texture but no matter how ripe or how cold a watermelon is, I will pass.  My husband thinks I’m crazy.

Things that are flavored with watermelon are great, like slushies and Jolly Ranchers and these cupcakes, but that’s as far as I go.

Even though I’m not a fan of real watermelon, I am glad that I have this Watermelon Cupcake Recipe in my arsenal. It’s the perfect kind of watermelon that even I can’t resist.

  • Add green food coloring to the color you desire.
