I was always afraid to do a cake roll, until I watched the accompanying video. Well, it truly is easy to roll it up! And the taste--yum!

I made this pumpkin roll for the very first time at the beginning of November for a friend's birthday. He brought 3 friends with him, he was that confident that I would make an excellent pumpkin roll. They all LOVED it. They ate the whole thing right then and there. That little bit of ginger in the frosting really makes nice difference in the taste. This was easy to make, and stayed in one piece after the cooling and unrolling. I will definately make this again, and hand out copies of the recipe to everyone who asks for it.

I had gotten this recipe from a friend a long time ago but I have never seen it online till now. I have made it for school events for my kids and lots of family events too. It was such a hit my mother had asked me to make one gluten free for some family members who are celiacs. With help from a health food store I made the adjustments and made one regular and one gluten free. What a Hit!! Everyone loved them. You couldn't even tell the difference between them. I ended up having to email everyone the recipe so they could make it at home to. It's a great recipe and the kids love to help out making it with me.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving. It was a big hit. It even outdid a store bought Paula Dean pumpkin pralene pie. Easy to make and very good.

This is a wonderful recipe. I've made three pumpkin rolls so far since October and they never last long.

This was my first attempt at any type of cake roll and did not find it difficult. The cake was moist, full of the autumn flavors we look for. The filling was perfect. Not too sweet, the ginger was not overpowering. Would be excellent with date nut bread, carrot cake. Will definitely serve during the holidays!
