Star War-termelons: a refreshingly nerdy summer treat • Offbeat Home & Life

The Empire has featured some awesome ideas for serving watermelon in the summertime:

Make a watermelon shark
Spike your watermelon with vodka
Serve watermelon punch out of the watermelon itself

And now Star War-termelons!

Just cut slices of watermelon and use these Williams-Sonoma Star Wars Pancake Molds to cut out the shapes. Then serve your deliciously nerdy summer treats.

Comments on Star War-termelons: a refreshingly nerdy summer treat

I have to admit – I was disappointed not to see a Death Star melon when I arrived from Twitter.

Here’s a photo in case anyone else hoped to see one.

OMG. I have a watermelon growing and I have Star Wars cookie cutters. I shall make this thing.

I really like this idea!!!

Also, I’d like to share this watermelon fake cake everybody and their grandma have been pinning, just in case someone hasn’t seen it yet:

It’s paleo and gluten-free and all that shit. The original recipe uses cream of coconut so it’s vegan, but I’m going to try a cream cheese frosting at some point. Or will it slide off?!? We’ll see!

Also: Who else thinks that this is totally Megan-simple(TM) and should be featured on one of the next of her cooking challenges? 😀
