 No matter how old you are, you're never too old to carve a pumpkin. Whilst the seasonal tradition is carried out by people of all ages, almost everyone has the same technique to carve their designs - and that's by cutting open the top, placing a candle in the middle, and putting the lid back on. However, a video, which has been shared to TikTok, claims that everyone's been carving pumpkins wrong their whole life as a woman's easier technique has left people floored. A grandma - who boasts more than 2.6 million views on account @brunchwithbabs - left people speechless as she cut the bottom of her pumpkin rather the top. Babs - who has raked in a whopping following for posing as "everyone's grandmother" - initially shared a video of the dos and don'ts of pumpkin carving. However, her viewers were gobsmacked as she took the knife to the bottom of the pumpkin rather than the top - a "genius" method meaning that it'll sit on top of the candle easier. And most importantly, it'll stop your hand from being burned when you cut the top and place the lit flame into the carved squash. Babs sprinkled cinnamon in her pumpkin ( brunchwithbabs/Tiktok) And puts her pumpkin on top of the candle ( brunchwithbabs/Tiktok) Captioning the viral clip, which has since exceeded 24.6 million views, Babs added: "Carve from bottom. That way you have the stem to hold onto and you can easily slip the pumpkin right over a candle or flashlight." Not only does it make the initial carving much easier, but you can also add a sweet scent to your carve. The grandmother-of-eight chose to sprinkle cinnamon in the inside of her pumpkin before placing the open bottom over a lit candle.
