Melon crepe cake

Ok so the name 'cake' might be a bit misleading.  But this cake is made up of several layers of homemade crepes, which are then topped with a homemade melon coulis! To make the coulis, simply blend 1 cup chopped melon with 1 cup chopped apricots in a blender. Add 1/2 cup sugar and transfer to a pot, then cook for 20 minutes. Strain the mixture to get rid of lumps, and pour on top of your pile of crepes. Serve with some melon balls on top. For a visually beautiful crepe cake, divide your crepe batter into 2 batches and add some green food coloring to one, and some orange to the other.
