These Princess Tiana & Ariel Pumpkins were created by Bridget McCarty.

The Princess Tiana pumpkin features Tiana in her gorgeous two color green dress and wearing her tiara. The Ariel pumpkin is really unique because this is Ariel as a human. She is wearing a blue dress and has her hair tied up in a bow.

 

Here is a close-up of Tiana. One thing I really like about these two pumpkins is the way Bridget carves the pumpkins to give them depth and texture and then she paints them. Mixing painting and carving makes the pumpkins really beautiful.

I’ve written three other posts collecting a bunch of Bridget’s wonderful painted pumpkins. These three posts feature the following characters:

• Stitch, the Doorknob from Alice in Wonderland, the Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh & Tigger and Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas.
• Darkwing Duck, the Queen of Hearts, Yoda, It’s A Small World, Jessica Rabbit and Stitch.
• The Hatbox Ghost, the poisoned apple from Snow White, Stitch, Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, the Cheshire Cat with a Halloween Mask and the Queen of Hearts.

These fantastic Frankenweenie Cupcakes were made by Death By Cupcakes. The characters are Mr. Rzykruski, Nassor, Elsa, Edgar, Victor, Persephone, Toshiaki, Weird Girl, and Sparky. The hand painting of these black and white characters is stunning. I really like how space behind each character is orange; it gives these marvelous cupcakes a real Halloween feel.

Here are more pictures of these amazing cupcakes:

 

Notice that Sparky, i.e. Frankenweenie, is in the center.

This wonderful Ursula Pumpkin carving was created by Robert Kriess.

If features Ursula with her two moray eels Flotsam and Jetsam. She is petting one while the other eel looks over her shoulder. Ursula has a large wicked smile and looks to be up to no good.

I’d be extremely careful around this pumpkin lest you become a poor unfortunate soul.

To my surprise, I’ve only featured Ursula in two other blog posts about pumpkins.

My most popular pumpkin carving posts is these four Little Mermaid pumpkins which include Ursula

These Disney Villain pumpkins which include Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Chernabog and The Headless Horseman.

This Stellar Star Trek Wedding Cake was made by Little Cherry Cake Company.  The couple loved all things Star Trek, Pumpkin, and Halloween so Tracey creatively combined these themes into this awesome wedding cake using carrot cake as a base.  Notice one of the couple’s pet cats on the side of the cake.

The cake has two tiers. Both tiers are orange pumpkins.  The bride and groom are sitting on the top  pumpkin. There is a black bat flying just below them.  The bottom pumpkin has a face carved out.

The cake board is purple. There are green pumpkin vines and a black cat on the cake board.

 

Here is a close-up of the Star Trek themed bride and groom. She is wearing a blue Star Trek uniform dress. She is holding orange roses in her hand. The roses are the same color orange as the pumpkins. The groom is wearing a red Star Fleet Captain’s uniform. There is a large yellow moon behind them. Black bats are flying in front of the moon.

 

Their black and white cat is sitting on a green pumpkin leaf on the cake.

 

Here’s a black witch’s hat and brown broom beside the cake.

 

The bottom cake layer is a Jack-o-Lantern with a scary face.
