Questions and answers

Frequently Asked Questions About Pumpkin Decorating

What variety of pumpkin is best for carving large faces?
The Howden pumpkin is specifically bred for carving because it has thick skin, a strong stem, and a flat bottom that rests securely on flat surfaces.
Why do people put hats on pumpkins on outdoor porches?
Adding a hat protects the top cut of the pumpkin from rain and dew, helping preserve the carved structure for several extra days.
