The structural integrity of the baked pumpkin depends on the carving method. Instead of cutting off the tops horizontally in one stroke, use a narrow pointed knife and slice around the stem at a 45 degree angle. Just don’t forget to watch those fingers.

If I can find these in my area here, they'd make some pretty cool "ghost" pumpkins. When carving, I've always added a small hole in the top of the lid as well as a small hole in the back at the bottom where you can't see it. This gets air moving through and helps the candle burn. Also, don't get toooo attached to your carved pumpkin. Otherwise you'll end up disappointed when some of the older trick-or-treaters steal it late at night!
