We know how much you enjoyed our Great Pathology Bake-Off – but do you know what else we love here at The Pathologist? Halloween! We asked you to share your Pathoween-themed bakes with us and you showed up with boneyard bakes, severed limb sweets, and more. Click on the images below to read more about each creation – or to reveal recipes you can use when you next fire up your cauldron!

Pumpkin cheese rolls are one of my favorite things to bake. It is a family recipe with homemade cream cheese frosting that is very nostalgic to my childhood. I bake it for my rotation or as a way to decompress, but I don’t usually eat what I bake – I give it to those around me as a way to also show my appreciation for my friends who have helped me during medical school.

The picture is from August 30, 2010 and is a cake made by one of my medical students for the “fin de stage” – a tradition at the end of a rotation. The rotation in our pathology lab put a big emphasis on autopsy pathology. The cake is an open body (skin flaps left, right, and above) in which one recognizes the trachea, bronchi, lungs, liver, stomach, and intestines.
It tasted very good!
