8 Stunning Captain Jack Sparrow Pumpkin Carvings

These first two Jack Sparrow pumpkins were made by the amazing Dan Szczepanski.  These pumpkins show why I love Dan’s work.  While both feature Captain Jack, that is about all they have in common.  In the first pumpkin, Jack looks menacing.  His facial expression and the way he has the gun resting again his head shows Jack means business.  In the second pumpkin, Jack looks maniacal.  Also in both pumpkins, Jack’s hat and hair are completely different.  While both pumpkins are different, the detail and line work on both are simply stunning.

This terrific Captain Jack Sparrow Pumpkin Carving was made by Mother and Me Creative Cakes.  The detail on Captain Jack is incredible. Jack is wearing his signature leather hat that looks much like a colonial designed hat. His hair, eyes, mustache, and beard are carved so that they look black on the pumpkin. The beads in his hair are hollowed out and lit up so that they stand out from his black hair. The whites of his eyes and highlights on his face has been hollowed out to show more light. The cloth under Jack’s hat is hollowed out to show more light to distinguish it form the hat and Jack’s face.
