This was sooooo delicious! Mine wasn't as pretty as Ina's but it sure tasted great. Lining the cake pan with parchement was the ticket, no sweat getting the cake out of the pan. I think I should have put more sugar on my towel because it stuck a little. Also, my buttercream wasn't light & fluffy, it looked a little lumpy but after some time in the fridge it was spreadable and by the time I was all done and received it's final dusting of powder sugar it was ready for it's close-up! There were many mmmm's and yumm's going 'round the table while we ate this!

Oh yum! Mascarpone has made a huge fan of me in this dessert! Had to add extra heavy cream because the filling was too thick to spread. Letting the cake come to nearly room temperature before eating softens the cream and brings out the flavors.

What a delicious twist for pumpkin! A must for my husband and I both on Thanksgiving day! I love the buttercream! (We leave out the crystallized ginger. Ina does it again!

I made this for the first time for Thanksgiving last year, and I didn't find it to be very difficult. The only trouble I had was due to letting it cool too long before rolling it! It was delicious and everyone loved it. My niece & nephew both requested it for this year's Thanksgiving!

This is a great dessert. The mascarpone filling is rich and creamy, and the whole thing is easy to make. Not sure why it is rated "Difficult". Just follow Ina's directions in the video and it works. I have made it 4 or 5 times and it is always a hit. I make it the night before, wrap it, and store it in the refrigerator. It is more flavorful the next day.

I made the mistake of trying this recipe after watching a FoodNetwork Thanksgiving special. I call it a mistake because now I have been dubbed "the pumpkin roll" lady. Apparently there are mystic gurus around central Indiana that make and sell these at Christmas and it's a big deal. I didn't find this recipe to be all that difficult, just a bit time consuming. It is unbelievably consistent...they always turn out fabulous. Depending on my mood I change up the filling...the crowds like walnuts instead of ginger. A splash of spiced rum in the cream adds a "noggy" flavor for Christmas. THANKS INA!!!!

This is a fantastic cake for both adults and kids! Don't be fooled by the difficult rating, it is not hard to make, it looks beautiful and it is quick (10 minutes in oven - only downtime is waiting for cake to cool completely. Eveyone I have ever made it for wants the recipe.

The cake turned out perfectly, but the filling appears as if it separated. It didn't look creamy like in the picture or on the video. What did I do wrong?

I made this last Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. I was wondering, if I make it the night before, will it hold up in the Refrigerator? Bring to room temp befor serving?
