Let us briefly interrupt our coverage of food safety, fancy cookbooks, and Korean tacos for a look at watermelon baby carriages. Why? Because when your friends are having a baby, it feels good to throw them a party. And because this would make a great centerpiece for the party table. And because if you carve your friends a watermelon basket, you will. not. have. to. play. any. dorky baby shower games. Because I said so.
And besides, it’s easy. How easy? So easy that, while I made the salad, my husband simultaneously carved and videotaped this one. Here you go. We first got the idea from the parties my aunt and stepmother used to cater; when we started looking for directions on our own we found this good guide through the National Watermelon Foundation Board.

Kye (you need to forward the link to her) would love this as she loves watermelon! I really liked the video, the quality was pristine and the fading/editing was great! Carving a watermelon seems way more fun that playing change the baby doll’s diaper at a shower. (Yes, I’ve been to a few, and they are usually very “dorky, as you stated)
One more reason to carve a watermelon baby carriage for a friends’ baby shower: your friends will ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Simple yet elegant, and guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. So much better than diaper games. Thank you so very much!
Nice job! I carved a simple watermelon basket not too long ago and it came out okay. I should try doing something a little more challenging, like this carriage, but I don’t have the guts!
Thank goodness: this is a life skill that all too many people are lacking! LOVE the video!
I go away for a week and you completely lose your mind?
Actually, I think this looks fantastic. Wish we had a watermelon at home right now.
Trés Martha.
Absolutely gorgeous!
That is awesome!! I’m going to try making one the next time I go to a baby shower…. but only if you promise I don’t have to play any more of those dorky games. Do you promise? Really?
This is absolutely adorable!! I was looking for a creative way to make a watermelon bowl for my fruit salad at my Baby Sprinkle tomorrow. I was so happy when I cam across this! Thank you so much for sharing!! It is perfect!!
I’m not sure what kills me about this more:
That you created such a thing.
That David did the honors (well done, D!)
That such a thing actually exists.
But hey, if it gets me out of dorky baby shower games, pass the knife. I’ll start carving now!
Hilarious. Thanks!
