Right I'm doing this from my phone so i don't even know if i can post pics BUT tonight i found a method on the Pioneer Woman to tell you how to puree your own pumpkin. So i did. Try.

| This is what I'm aiming for... |
I roasted it in chunks and then took the skin off. It was awfully watery, which it wasn't in her photo, but I seived it to get rid of the excess. Then i blitzed it in a food processor and drained it some more! Them i looked for something to make it with.

| My pumpkin. |
Yesterday i found a Hummingbird bakery book at 2 for £10 in WH Smith (i got Tom Kerridge too) and in there is a pumpkin roulade thing.
So its in the oven just now. I'll update when it's out...
Ooh i also started making my Christmas limoncello so that's happily infusing in the cupboard!
Fingers crossed...

The cake's out the oven! It's a bit pale!

| Cream cheese frosting... |
Unfortunately I forgot that butter wrapper has metal in it, and I put it in the microwave to soften it a bit. Oops.
It was a lovely light show though :)
 |
| IT WORKED!!!!! |
 |
| Look at all that lovely cakiness!!! |

| The view from above! |
Unfortunately (I should probably get that word on auto-use, I can tell it's going to be used a lot lol) when I attempted to slice it, a lot of the filling squished out the end. I never understood how people managed to make roulade neatly.
Anyway, I just scooped up the frosting stuff and shoved it on top!! It's bloody lovely :D Even Andrew likes it, and that's saying something!!!
