Cake Pumpkin Cake Pop Ghosts!
I love this recipe and we make it every year at my work. I ate about 12 yesterday. Lol!

Pumpkin Cake
4 Large Eggs
1 2/3 cups Brown Sugar
1 cup Brown Butter
15 oz Pumpkin Purée
2 cups AP
2t Baking Powder
1t Salt
1t Baking Soda
2t Cinnamon
1/2 t Clove
1/2t Nutmeg

Cream Cheese Icing
3 cups Powdered Sugar
6 oz Cream Cheese
6T Butter

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour one glass 9 x 13 inch pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Spread into prepared pan.
Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
For the frosting: beat together the cream cheese, butter and confectioner's sugar.
Once the cake is completely cool, break apart and put in a bowl (or mixer) stir in frosting until the crumbs hold together like Play-dough.
Scoop and roll into desired size balls. Refrigerate.
Roll out white fondant and cup into circles big enough to cover your cake balls. Shape them like ghosts using the cake balls as the bodies. Use melted chocolate to make eyes. Voila! You're done

2nd Prize
Winner @Peep-Chicken
Deviled Chicken Eyes
You need:
Eggs
Salt
Vinegar(optional)
Mustard
Mayo
Food coloring
A tortilla or olives, anything small and dark that's edible
Toothpick

Boil your eggs!
I use bantam eggs, I always have issues with large eggs. I cook the small eggs in the water for about 10 minutes. I put in a little vinegar and salt while they boil, it makes peeling easier and the salt helps eggs with cracks not leak. When the eggs are fine boiling, I run them under cold water.

The inside:
You will want to peel your eggs and cut them in half. Put the yolks in a separate bag. Once all the yolks are separate, add your mustard and mayo. This is totally personal preference! I put about 2 tablespoons each per 6 eggs or so. I also may sprinkle salt and pepper on it. When done, squish it all together!

The eyes:
Cut a small hole in the bag so you can squeeze the yolk mix into the whites. You can dye the yolks to make them more orange too. I even it so it looks like eyes and clean the white up some.

Details:
Put our tortilla or olive or whatever you choose for the pupil in the center. Get a toothpick, and with red food dye, trace veins in the white.

Congratulations!

More yet?   I'm seeing a blue chick again, I love the blues. 

One more hatched, another has a good size pip. Humidity got down to 46 while in was at the dentist, added very warm water in a hurry when I got back. I have one in there that I need to get our think it died around day 18. So when the pipper is out I will have a total of 6.
