2. Take the green fondant and roll out with rolling pin. Next, roll out the pink fondant. 
3. Using your round cookie cutter, cut out circles from the green & pink fondant. 
4. With your knife, cut circles in half.  Place pink fondant pieces on top of green pieces, brushing with a little water to attach. 
5. Use pinch-size pieces of the black fondant to make seeds. Press into watermelon wedges.

Au revoir! Catch me on Instagram

I initially started this blog in 2010 to chronicle  my baking adventures. In 2013 I became a mother and this space shifted to sharing my DIYs and inspiration for creative living. Since then, I've been fortunate to work with multiple companies producing creative editorial content. As I look back at this blog, I'm reminded of how your passions can actually unfold into a career. And if you're really patient and willing to put in the all the work, dream jobs do come true. So it is here where I say au revoir to my beloved blog, aka my creative journal. You can still find me on @craftedbyjen .  xoxo, Jen
