If you've been following our countdown to your Halloween fancy dress party, then you should be almost ready.

You've got the food and drink, made some cool decorations and carved the pumpkin - so now it's time to make the most of the flesh you saved from yesterday's jack o'lantern activities.

First of all, you can toast, roast or fry the seeds for a great healthy snack and a good alternative to nuts.

Then, you can use the flesh to create yummy cakes, as it will add moisture to sponges without tasting at all vegetable-y!

Taste of Home features a lovely recipe for a chocolate chip and pumpkin loaf which is super-easy to make, while BBC Good Food also provides instructions on how to create a classic pumpkin cake that's a lot like carrot cake.

A quick bit of baking this evening and you could really impress the guests at your Halloween fancy dress party!
