Cut this watermelon "cake" into 16 wedges for a wonderful, refreshing take on a summer appetizer or dessert. Of course, this recipe is best when watermelon is in season. Simply stack the watermelon rounds on a platter so they look just like a cake! Decorate the top of the cake with cantaloupe, kiwifruits, blueberries, and strawberries; you're also free to use whatever fresh fruit you have on hand. The sweet "frosting" is made of raspberries, orange juice, and sugar, which are puréed in a blender, then pushed through a sieve to extract as much juice as possible. Serve your gorgeous watermelon cake with the raspberry sauce alongside to complete your creative, showstopping dessert.
