# Cooking Steps:
01 - Using a large sharp knife or round cookie cutters, slice the cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon into uniform 1/4-inch thick circular slices. Use different sized cutters if desired to create smaller circles for layering.
02 - Place the largest melon rounds in a single layer on a large serving platter, alternating types to create a colorful arrangement.
03 - Layer smaller melon circles on top of the base layer in concentric rings, alternating melon varieties for contrast.
04 - Evenly distribute strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries over and between the melon layers.
