One word…beautiful! Absolutely love this idea and it looks incredibly easy. Great job Billy!
We’re planning on a Turducken for Christmas and a Pake is the perfect dessert to pair with it. I’m thinking of using a pumpkin pie with a carrot cake. Spicing is very similar so they should complement nicely, and a cream cheese frosting with lots of crushed pecans on it.
Thanks for posting this – I wasn’t sure a pumpkin pie would work because all the others I’ve seen have been fruit pies with a top crust.
good luck 🙂
My fav is a Better Homes & Gardens Recipe: Lemonade Roll. It’s the same concept as Pumpkin Roll but obouvisly you replace the pumpkin with Lemon. It is light, fluffy & scrumptious. I’m actually going to be making it on Friday for the Visdos family Valentine’s Day celebration. : ) I have a photo of it that I will put onto fb since I’m not sure how to post a pic to your blog.
