Personal Notes:
Tried on 7-17-05 with homemade frozen pumpkin pie filling from our garden. Really moist. Wendell says it is too sugary. Cousins (Micheal, Razzi, Tareq, and Alesha) devoured a pan. Razzi LOVES pumpkin. :) Mindy loves the frosting. :)

Grandma Siegel suggested lightly frosting it shortly after it came out of the oven to seal in moisture. Then, once it has cooled down, spread on the rest of the frosting. Mmm! Right on, Grandma!
