My family has been making this for over 20 years at the holidays! My suggestion-- I found after filling and rolling I wrap in wax paper then foil and FREEZE! This really makes the roll very moist firms up the filling nicely and makes it very easy to cut into nice slices. When you take out of the freezer let it sit 5-10 before slicing. I also make extra rolls to give as gifts and can be left in the freezer for up to 3 months. Read More

This was a great dessert! I've never made one and it was easy! I also used a regular baking sheet instead of a jelly roll pan...it worked fine. (It still took about 20 minutes to bake.) Enjoy! Read More

This is one of the best pumpkin rolls I have EVER had!!! Note be sure to use excatly the amount of butter for the filling as the recipe calls for...or the filling will be soupy and it will run out the side when you roll it up. Everyone that has tried this pumpkin roll loves it!!! Read More

This pumpkin roll is great. Everyone loves it butter is the key in the filling. Make sure to use butter instead of margerine in the filling because it is a little to soft with margerine. Again easy great recipe. Read More

Fantastic!! Everyone loved this. I made this for Thanksgiving & Christmas. Easier to make than it sounds. If you make the filling first and refrigerate for about an hour it will thicken up. Not too running for rolling process. Freezes well. Read More

I've been wanting to make this cake for a couple of years now but felt a little intimidated by the rolling process. My friend "Cookinme" gave me the courage to give it a whirl. Wow I can't believe how easy it was! It's such a pretty and festive looking cake too. Absolutely wonderful Kathleena and thanks! Read More
