Sure, the days are getting shorter and cooler, but they're also getting sweeter. Halloween is just around the corner, a sweet kickoff to what promises to be a fall and winter full of pies, puddings and wonderful holiday treats.

And in celebration of all of this sweetness, this month's Cake Poll focuses on fall treats! The lucky winner will receive an original Cakespy watercolor depicting L'il Cuppie being chased by ghosts (pictured top)--looks like they didn't want to share their candy!

• Which do you prefer: candy corn or mellowcreme pumpkins?
  
• Fun-size candy bars: do they make you happy or leave you hungry?
  
• Trick-or-treaters without costumes: give 'em candy anyway, or turn 'em away?
  
• Halloween candy-eating method: eat it as fast as you can, or ration it out to last?
  
• Favorite cold-weather beverage: hot apple cider or hot chocolate?
  
• Fall pie faceoff: apple or pumpkin?
  

The fine print: The poll will be closed at 12 p.m PST on Friday, October 17. As usual, the winner will be chosen at random. Entries from the US and beyond are welcome. Your info will never be shared and these questions are solely motivated by our nosy spy tendencies. Of course, if you don't win, you can always buy Cakespy artwork and gear at jessieoleson.etsy.com!

....and we have a winner! Our winner was JEAN from New Jersey! Jean entered in our comments section and most definitely prefers Candy Corn! While Mellowcreme Pumpkin may not approve, we were more than happy to see the piece of artwork go to such a sweet home! Check out Jean's blog here.
