Here at TruffleShuffle, we LOVE Halloween! Remember our amazing Pumpkin Carving Competition on Facebook?!

This year we thought we would try our hand at more than just the traditional Jack-O-Lantern and see what other tricks treats we could come up with.

Starting with the food (of course!) we found some fantastic ideas that we are just dying to try!

First the cake, you have to have cake right! These cupcakes look easy and effective, chocolate cakes topped with white icing and decorated with black skeletal detail - spookily edible!

White chocolate dipped strawberry ghosts, decorated with dark chocolate - plus it's essentially fruit so totally healthy :-)

You will need something to drink so make sure you keep your (blood red!) punch chilled with a frozen ghostly hand. Just fill a latex glove with water and freeze, take off the glove and float the hand in your drinks bowl! Eeeeeasy!

We are especially excited to try these jelly worms. How realistically disgusting to these look - make sure you get the bendy straws for the lifelike wormy texture! Another simple and effective treat for kids and ermm... big kids like us :)

This week, the TruffleShufflers have been racking their brains and seeking inspiration for that well-known Halloween dilemma, what the hell do I carve into my pumpkin???

Yes, for this week's Friday Facebook competition, everyone at Truffle Towers was given their very own pumpkin with the brief that we had 2 days to design and create a character carving with a retro, 80's spin.

Well, I must say the end results were very impressive! After a week of highly competitive talk and secretive Internet researching, the portly pumpkins have now been papped and released on our Facebook page!

The name of the game is to LIKE or comment on your favourite to help us decide which TruffleShuffler deserves the title of Pumpkin carving chief! The one with the most votes wins the TruffleShuffler a prize and whoever likes or comments on any pumpkin gets popped into a hat and we'll randomly select one of you to win a special Halloween treat! You can enter here until 2pm today so please do get invovled!

So, here are the entries..
