While it's not quite the same as baking, there's a delightful tradition we enjoy during this season - pumpkin carving! How many of you partake in this creative activity? I've come across some truly impressive designs with intricate details, whereas mine usually ends up being a simple arrangement of triangles with a smiling face. This year, I'm determined to craft something extraordinary to grace our table. My plan is to sketch out the design first and then carefully carve it into the pumpkin. I've already acquired the perfect pumpkin for the task. Typically, we place this carved masterpiece at the center of our table and arrange all the delicious pumpkin-themed treats around it.
