Prepare the watermelon by slicing it in half and cutting away the rind with a sharp knife (the rind is thick and tough, use caution when performing this step). Slice the watermelon into desired thickness. Use your favorite mold or cookie cutter to cut out desired amount of “cupcakes.” Top each cupcake with frosting, lemon zest and decorative sprinkles.
