Pumpkin Roll

     I had never tried a pumpkin roll before a few months ago when I had a lady request  me to make her one. So my research began.  A pumpkin roll is basically a very thin pumpkin cake with basically a cream cheese filling. Sounds simple, right? In it's own way it is, but its also tricky. I normally end up covered in powdered sugar and so does half my kitchen. But boy oh boy is it worth it. My first bite was pure bliss. I instantly became addicted. The middle was sweet and creamy and the cake was just the right amount of pumpkin and spices (well after a bit of tweaking, that is). I made and sold around 6 of them in a two week period. I have also made them for family holidays. Of course I plan to make other flavored rolls in the future, but I am not sure if any of them will ever compare to the infamous pumpkin roll!

A Year Later

     I am a little ashamed to realize that it has been at least a year since I have been on here or written anything. Boy, what a year it has been too. I moved an hour and a half away from my home town to be with my boyfriend and his son. It has been a pretty big change in lifestyle for all of us. With all the changes I let my baking be moved to the back  burner. Now, do not get me wrong, I still did some baking for us personally. It was just hard trying to get my goodies out there for other people to try. I have up for a while and decided to do computer work from home instead. I had a bit more success with that than the baking. Now for the past several months I have been focusing a little more on my baking again as I began to seriously miss it. I have done quite a few things this past year that I am looking forward to sharing with you guys. I hope that you enjoy reading about my kitchen exploits as much as I enjoying having them.
