I made this one with my mother while Kelli was on vacation last month. Kelli never even got a taste!

Hi there. I made this recipe yesterday. I didn’t add lemon juice though. But our family loves pumpkin rolls. Thank you for all your hard work. I really enjoy this.:)

Hi Kelly and Phillip,
I just want to say I love this site and made the pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving dessert. I have never made any type of rolled dessert before and with the step by step instructions and photos it made my transition into dessert roll baking a breeze. Thanks so much for all the time you put into this site, it is a real inspiration to those of us who have a hard time trying new things.
God Bless,
Kim

Sharon and Kim, I’m glad the recipe worked out for both of you!
Rolled desserts really aren’t hard, but they sure do look intimidating, I think. I do hope the pictures help show how simple it can be.

I returned home last night from our 10-day Thanksgiving vacation and wanted to let you know that all the recipes you’ve shared were a big hit with our family. The Baked Ziti was the all-time winner and now everyone thinks I am a cooking wizard (I’ll let them continue with this idea).

Oh, wow. I LOVE these things, and this makes it look possible - my mother’s cousin’s recipe requires a PhD in pastry! Thanks, y’all.
