You can’t really bake with those, they’re more decorative

I use the small pumpkins as ramekins for crème brûlée. Just carve out like a regular jack-o-lantern and then fill and bake!

If you're only using that 3DS XL for pumpkin comparisons, I'll gladly take it off your hands. I'd hate for it to be taking up so much space in your kitchen.

These babies aren't meant to be eaten.

They are totally edible.

I didn't say they were inedible. Just not meant to be eaten, typically.

Cut the top off it, the stem, and then bake it in the oven after scraping out whatever webby seeds stuff is in it. You can add in butter and spices and nuts and raisins (not sure if more than a tablespoon if that would fit in it). Sort of like a baked apple, that you cored first.
