SAEDNEWS: With Watermelon Carvings: Creative Ideas for an Eye-Catching Table
According to the Family Magazine service of SaedNews, when we talk about decorating watermelon, we’re not just referring to simple, classic cuts. Nowadays, fancy designs, dessert-style arrangements, fruit art, and carving have turned watermelon into a centerpiece for Yalda Night tables and any summer gathering. With a few creative ideas, you can elevate the appearance of your watermelon from ordinary to ultra-luxurious.
Turning a Watermelon into a Fruit Basket
One of the most popular styles is cutting a watermelon into a basket shape with a handle. You hollow out the inside and fill it with a mix of grapes, cantaloupe, strawberries, and watermelon balls. This style is perfect for parties and makes for stunning photos.
Watermelon Shaped Like a Rose
If you want a more professional-looking decoration, carving the watermelon rind is your best option. Patterns like roses, leaves, or Islamic-style designs stand out beautifully against the green skin.
For quicker and simpler designs, use metal molds in shapes like stars, hearts, or flowers. With these molds, you can create whimsical pieces and arrange them in glass containers.
Using an ice cream scoop, you can make watermelon balls that look elegant and are neatly presented for serving. The combination of red and yellow watermelon balls is visually striking.
One of the most popular decorations is cutting the watermelon into a cylindrical “cake” shape and decorating it with pistachio powder, whipped cream, or red fruits. It looks just like a festive party cake.
Hollow out a watermelon and fill it with cherry or watermelon jelly, then let it set. When serving, cut it into pieces like a jelly cake. The presentation is completely unique.
