Carol M Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Those are just too gorgeous, e! You are certainly an inspiration to anyone wanting to try the rustic technique; you've got it down pat for sure. Pumpkin Log is sort of a funny name, but I agree with PA; the real thing is to die for. The mother of a co-worker of mine makes and sells these for her church around Thanksgiving each year and they are entirely yummy; sort of like a version of carrot cake. She makes a thin layer (about 1") of pumpkin cake in a waxed paper-lined jellyroll pan; walnuts are pressed into it all over. After the layer cools, she frosts it with a cream cheese icing and rolls it up into a log shape and dusts it with powdered sugar. You chill it very well and then slice into pinwheels; it's really elegant looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debscent Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 E-Beautiful as always!! Why not just rename it Grandma's Pumpkin Roll or Holiday Pumpkin Roll? That's what we call them here, and now I want one for breakfast. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
