This year our annual Halloween party is going to be bigger and better. As the centerpiece for the banquet table, I am going to make a jack o' lantern shaped ice sculpture. I found a big Jack-O-Lantern shaped mold that I will fill with water that has been tinted with orange food color and put it in the freezer until it is frozen solid. Should look great sitting behind the punch bowl!

Of course, we'll have to set it on some kind of tray to catch the water as it melts. Maybe we should hide something in the center of it, like a skull, so when it melts down far enough you'll see a skull emerging from within. That would look cool! We'll also have to rig up some kind of back lighting for it so the sculpture "glows".

That's just one of the ideas that we've come up with for this years party. More ideas as we develope them!
