Ended Official 2020 BYC Halloween HAL Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Mine seemed to really enjoy the pumpkin guts but barely touched the pumpkin itself. I'm thinking they might be more interested if I bake it first.

I started out by giving them the guts first in a dish minus the seeds for me, they picked at it a bit and moved on. I too had thought of baking it first to see if that makes it soft and easier for them to eat like watermelon.

Well, I'd say I am decently proud of myself. I've always just sketched something on the pumpkin and used nothing but a steak knife and a spoon to carve! Never used a carving kit or any other tools and I always do the same old design. My mother-in-law suggested to try a cat this time, so I carved a cat face! Second photo shows it with my egg decorating contest entry.

That's fantastic! I always buy the pumpkin carving kits and they still don't always come out this nice. Great job!

I'll be working on a much scarier pumpkin carving, & it's a difficult one. It'll be my last entry.

Just a sec, let me get my popcorn bag back out. I'm going to put on weight from all this anticipation!
