In a small bowl stir together sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.

Place cantaloupe in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth.

In a large bowl combine dry cake mix, cantaloupe puree, egg, the water, oil, the 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger.
