Notes: This pumpkin roll recipe comes from my husband Bob's family in Pittsburgh. His mother taught him to bake and he taught me (some...., he still bakes better than I do). On our wedding day, Bob presented my Mother with this recipe on a beautiful scroll during our cake cutting ceremony binding our families together in 'sacred family secret recipe matrimony' now that we were bonded by marriage. In addition to this, Bob's Mother also baked over 1600 cookies for our wedding herself (from scratch) to celebrate and bless our union and for all those attending our special day to enjoy. Needless to day, those not from Pittsburgh who were unaware of this tradition were quite impressed. Tradition says love is baked into each and every cookie for the new bride/groom coming into the family. Clearly I am very blessed. These days when there are pot luck lunch gatherings at Serco and I make Pumpkin Roll, those I've been fortunate to work with in the Learning Group over the many years can be heard saying "Is that Diana's Pumpkin Roll?" They know it will be delicious because they know I have baked love into each and every slice!
