WITH Halloween fast approaching, many families will be spending the next few days pumpkin picking and making spooktacular decorations to hang around the house.
But when you have six kids, like Paris Fury, carving pumpkins can prove to be quite the time-consuming task.
Taking to her Instagram stories, the busy mum shared a time-saving hack posted on social media by @brunchwithbabs, and quipped: “Well I’ve got six kid = 7 pumpkins.
“Going to give this a go tonight.”
In the clip, Babs can be seen sharing her clever method that speeds up carving with no mess and no fuss – and it involves a kitchen whisk.
Firstly, she says to carve from the bottom so you can hold on the stem and can “easily slip the pumpkin right over a candle or flashlight.”

Next up, Babs recomends using a red dry erase marker to sketch your design.
“It erases easily and if you miss a spot, it blends in,” she points out.

Then she says to use a hand mixer to clean out your pumpkin, before using “special pumpkin carving cookie cutters and a rubber mallet to carve your design.”
Finally, she notes: “Cover all cut surfaces with Vaseline to keep the pumpkin moist after carving.
“Pumpkins should last 1-2 weeks carved!
“Sprinkle some cinnamon on the inside top of your pumpkin for festive pumpkin spice smell when a candle is lit inside the pumpkin.”
