It&#8217;s the pumpkins that are shaped really funky with unique features\u00a0that are the superstars of the pumpkin carving world!<\/p>\n<p>2.) When making a pumpkin pie, don&#8217;t add your eggs until your spice mixture is complete.\u00a0Pay special attention to your salt and sugar ratio, this makes or breaks the recipe. Forgetting salt and sugar well&#8230; that&#8217;s just blah, so don&#8217;t do that!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">3.) The mini handheld saw tool is the best one for carving features out of a pumpkin. Use your saw methodically and gently, otherwise the finer aspects of your design may be botched if hastily carved.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>4.) Save the fancy stuff for the side. People like pumpkin pie because it&#8217;s pumpkin, it&#8217;s fall, it&#8217;s tradition! If you&#8217;re going to have pecans that go with it, or bourbon whipped cream, serve it on the side so that others can have the option to &#8220;mess with tradition&#8221; or keep it classic. Emotions run high around pumpkin pie.<\/p>\n<p>5.) Use a dry-erase marker to draw your pattern on your pumpkin. You can erase it if you don&#8217;t like it, and there won&#8217;t be lines around the carved areas\u00a0because you can wipe those lines away and voila, an eyeliner-free pumpkin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.) &#8220;Perfect Pumpkins&#8221; with no dings or warts are BORING.
