Brush the undersides of the warm sandwich sponges with watermelon syrup, then cool completely. Place 1 sponge, top-side down, on a cake board. Spread with one third of the red buttercream and sprinkle over one third of the remaining chocolate chips. Place the second sponge on top, top-side down, and repeat. Add the third sponge and repeat again. Set the hemisphere sponge on top and gently press down so the cake holds together. Chill for 20 minutes to firm up. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie.

I attached my tag to some cute watermelon cotton candy, but you can use any of the gift ideas below, or come up with your own! Keep the cloches in place after planting. If you’ve covered the ground with biodegradable membrane, leave this in place too – simply cut a hole in it at each planting point Add the egg whites one at a time and mix until combined after each addition. Add in vanilla extract. Originally I was going to have a photographer friend of mine take her photos but a few things happened and I ended up taking the photos. I’m really happy with the way her watermelon cake smash turned out really cute. Use a hole punch in the tags after printing and cutting and then use a ribbon or twine to attach the tags to your melon gift.

DIY Father’s Day Watermelon Card

COLOR CODED® Echinacea are produced vegetatively from tissue culture, so all plants will be identical in color and habit. These varieties were selected for their excellent basal branching, flower performance, large flower size, and horizontally held petals. Enjoy these as late summer interest for your garden. These are perfect pollinator magnets and during late fall to winter the seed heads will serve as food for birds. It is a thoroughbred in all aspects. It is tall, reaching 24 to 26 inches with a 20-inch spread. The flowers are huge, with many exceeding 5 inches. The summer was one of heat index misery, but they persisted, just like the flaming Color Coded “Orange You Awesome” variety. Limiting the number of melons per plant helps to ensure the fruits grow to a reasonable size and ripen well. When the young fruit are gooseberry size, select the best one or two on each side-shoot and remove all other flowers and fruit. Then pinch out the tip of each side-shoot two or three leaves beyond the fruits. Remove any new growth that forms beyond this point, so all the plant’s energy goes into the fruit. PREPARE SIMPLE SYRUP: While cakes are baking, prepare simple syrup. Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar granules completely dissolve. Remove from heat, stir in watermelon extract and cool to room temperature.

Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/Gas 4. Beat the margarine and sugar in a mixer until light and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a tablespoon of the flour with each of the last 4 pours of egg. Fold in the rest of the flour with a large metal spoon, followed by two thirds of the chocolate chips. Cold beneficial. An 11-14 week cold period will increase the number of flowers and overall quality of Echinacea. Place ¼ frosting in a small bowl, and ¼ frosting in another small bowl. Add a few drops of bright green (I use AmeriColor Electric Green) to one bowl, and a few drops of leaf green (I use AmeriColor Leaf Green) to other bowl; blend until color is evenly distributed in each. Add red or pink food coloring (I use AmeriColor Watermelon or Electric Red) to remaining half of frosting and blend until color is evenly distributed.From the darling sweets to the personalized decor here are some of the adorable ideas to watch for: Make the fondant. Put 30ml of water into a heatproof bowl and sprinkle over the gelatine. Leave to soak for 5 minutes, or until the mixture looks spongy, then set the bowl onto a pan of very hot water and leave for a few minutes, until the gelatine is smooth. Remove the bowl before the mixture gets hot, and stir in the glycerine and glucose. One of the highlights of this party was the drink table for all grownups. In keeping with the melon theme, there’s a simple yet cute watermelon banner on the table. If you want to replicate this, just put some bottles, a bowl of fresh fruits and a vase with flowers on display, then you’re all set!

B-Nine at 2500 ppm or Sumagic at 5 ppm works well to control overall height. Sumagic applied as a drench at 1 ppm works also works well. We did a cake smash with Prestyn but just realized I never actually shared the photos on here. Maybe I will one day. The first fruit to set can prevent further fruit formation. To avoid this, keep the plants covered with fleece, cloches or frames until multiple flowers are produced and then remove covers to allow for insect pollination. In the greenhouse watch out for the first flower and remove it. For perfect crumb and soft texture, I recommend cake flour for this recipe. You can substitute all purpose flour, but your cake will be a bit denser, and not have that beautiful height you want for celebration cakes. I also recommend using light color aluminum baking pans for the best results. This will keep the bottom and edges of the cake from getting too brown during baking. Melon-colored flowers and matching melon cones. At 5-5½" wide these are among the largest flowers in the collection. Petals are held horizontally and overlap for maximum display. The cantaloupe flower color is lighter than 'Orange You Awesome' and not a true yellow like 'Yellow My Darling'.Keep plugs moist until they are ready to transplant. Just before transplanting, make sure the plugs are well watered. Once they have been transplanted and are actively growing, it is important that they are not overwatered. Overwatering may result in plants that grow more slowly in containers and are more susceptible to disease. Plants should never be allowed to sit in excess water. Later on, I was able to come up with about a half-dozen more plants to temper my plant lusting. “One in a Melon” is special in its color progression. It starts off golden orange and matures to the melon or a vibrant butter yellow. While we often use the term fade, reflecting that a flower lost some pizzazz, in the case of “One in a Melon,” its mature color is just as beautiful and complements the new emerging blossoms.
