Demon Pumpkin

This is another non-baking post, but it is food related. It's another one of my Halloween creations. I entered it into my company's pumpkin carving contest and took first place again. Sadly, I'm not sure that first prize even covered all of my materials for this one.

I cleaned the larger pumpkin and carved it, saving some of the goo. The part that I cut out for the mouth was carved to make the tongue. I bought the teeth at a Halloween store. The actually glow in the dark, which is pretty cool. The smaller pumpkin was only carved enough to get the face on it. That thing was rock hard. I little of the goo from the big pumpkin was draped over the smaller one. The eyes are radishes with the ends snipped off and the horns are squash pushed into a hole I cut in the side.

We put this out front Halloween night and I think I had more comments on this one than any I've done in the past. Hmm... It's summertime, so it's time to start thinking about this year's entry.
