I am unaware of it, HOWEVER:

For jelly-like rolls you can use
Puff Pastry.
You could place pumpkin pie fixings,
with spices and cream cheese on it,
then roll it up and bake it.

I have done this with many desserts,
different innards each time.
You make a couple slices in the top
for steam to escape.
They look awesome, no matter what is
inside.

Hi I placed a recipe in the recipe threads forum. Have used that one many times. Just another suggestion.

Thanks for your replies. I think what the gal did was use a yellow cake mix and used pumkin for the flavor and color. The thing with baking is you can't mess around too much with the amounts or you get a mess. My past doings I made mango bread and banana bread...mor fruit more flavor...ended up with a goooey mess that should have been baked for hours.....

Never worked with puff pastry....

Cheers to both of you!

Puff Pastry is the EASIEST thing in the
world to work with and makes you look
so good :-)

You buy it in the freezer section, thaw,
lay out, apply ingredients, bake according
to the package.

They will think you ordered whatever you
make :-)
To practice, you could get some, spread
butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins, bake
and slice while hot :-)

You must really be a cooking or baking lady, but I think I might try your idea of trying it first.

The thing is this.
Puff Pastry is a world unto itself.
You can make desserts and main dishes with it.
It elevates your courses because it tastes so good.
They think you have toiled the day away :-)

Best of luck at Easter, let us know how it went :-)
