Nuts and stuff

So, by now I'm sure many of you have made Wendi's English Toffee. You'll notice that when you break the toffee into pieces, a lot of the nuts and some of the chocolate will have come off. What's a girls to do? You could put the extras in cookies. Or you could do what I did.
I made a pumpkin load and spread the nuts over the top before I put it in the oven. After the pumpkin roll cooled, I spread cream cheese frosting on it and rolled it up. So yummy! It was all ready when the girls came home from school. You should have seen their faces. They were very happy.


Now, I've never made a roll before. They are so pretty and tasty, but I've never thought I'd be able to roll the cake out the right way. I followed the directions (from my red and white checkered cook book) but the cake wouldn't release from the pan. So I spread the cream cheese frosting on the cake and cut the cake into strips the width of my spatula and was able to roll the cake form there. Voila- it looked great. I wish I'd taken pictures, but it got eaten pretty quickly. I guess I'll just have to make another one! Right after I go to the gym! LOL
