2 days until Halloween fancy dress - Make the most of your pumpkins

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!
