Dip into sprinkles to coat and set inside drinking glasses until set (if necessary, tuck napkins inside the glass so the cone sticks up over the rim). Place colored candy coating disks in three separate small microwave-safe bowls. Microwave one bowl on 100 percent power (high) for 30 seconds. Stir; microwave for 20 to 30 seconds more or until melted. Repeat, one at a time, with the remaining bowls of candy coating. Transfer the melted candy coatings to three small heavy resealable plastic bags. Snip off a small piece from one corner of each bag. On sheets of waxed paper, make 8- to 9-inch-long sticks (about 1/4-inch thickness) of each color candy coating by piping back and forth over waxed paper in zigzag pattern. Let stand about 1 hour or until firm. (If necessary, place the sticks of candy coating in the freezer until firm.) Meanwhile, using a 1- to 1 1/2-inch star-shaped cookie cutter, cut 1/2-inch thick stars out of the watermelon. Fill cones with watermelon and blueberries. Drizzle with honey, if desired. Dollop with whipped cream. Break the zigzag sticks of candy coating into 3- to 4-inch lengths. Insert the candy sticks into whipped cream, radiating out from the center like a sparkler. If desired, sprinkle with additional red, white, and blue sprinkles.
