The hit of the party!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did make some changes to this recipe, and it was a HUGE success. I used spice cake mix and mixed in 2 tsp. ground ginger... and 1/4 tsp. cloves. (The cake mix was on sale for $1 so I decided to try it.) I baked the cake and prepared the pudding the night before, but In order to prevent the cake from getting too soggy, I assembled the trifle the next morning. We have possibly found a new Thanksgiving tradition... several people said that they like this better than pumpkin pie. :)Read more

How can you write a review on a recipe and give it low marks if you havent followed the recipe..Dah that is just stupid. I... agree with someone earlier if you follow the recipe to the letter and you dont like it, dont make it again. I followed the recipe and it was awesome..Next time I might make changes just because that is the way I am. But if doesnt turn out oh well MY FAULT. and I promise not to write a bad review.lolRead more

I have made this every year for Thanksgiving dessert since I saw Paula make this a few years ago. It is always a big hit. ... This is defintely a recipe that I will keep for my dessert menu every year. I even had a neighbor ask me to make one for her to take to her family gathering. Thank you Paula for a wonderful dessert recipe that I will keep forever.Read more

I made a stupid mistake...but it was still DELISH!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made the stupid mistake of using canned whipped topping because I wanted the top to look more decorative. Well, it deflated... and looked horrific! That said, I also added a sprinkling of rum over the gingerbread for added kick and it was FABULOUS! I will be spending Thanksgiving with friends this year and plan to take this and bask in the ooohs and aaaahs.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

If you don't like this recipe, then you've done something wrong to it! I made this last Thanksgiving and couldn't find my... printed recipe for this year, so I had to look it up again. I was surprise to see someone "did not care for" it. Will most definately be making this again as it was a big hit! Mmmmm! Mmm! =)Read more
