Instead of making a roll I cut the cake into 1.5" rounds with a cookie cutter and stacked two rounds on a puddle of caramel with the toffee cream in-between the two layers of cake. Then I topped with another swirl of the cream and drizzled with caramel and sprinkled with toffee pieces. It was a really great presentation, much cooler than the old grandma roll : Don't skip the rum, everybody thought that really made the dish special. Will definitely make again.

I made a special dinner for Halloween and decided to include this cake. It was fairly easy to make and turned out so delicious! My husband requested it again for Thanksgiving.

We both like a bit more rum flavor so the second time I made the pumpkin roll I doubled the rum (to 4 tablespoons and slightly heaped the teaspoon of gelatin. Like others, on my first attempt I also had the problem of my rum/gelatin mixture thickening before dispersing throughout the whipped cream, so the second time I folded it in while it was still warm. It made the whipped cream deflate quite a bit but not to the point of being liquid. Once the cake was refrigerated for a bit, the filling's consistency was perfect.

I made this cake today with my granddaughter and it was a hit. Both her and her younger brother loved it. I made a slight change to the filling. I used flavored mascarpone cheese and boy was it GOOD. It was also a lot easier to make.

Last year, I made the "Pumpkin Roll" for a "Open House" at a house I had listed. I knew everyone went goo-goo over the "Pumkin Roll". What amazed me was this week, an associate in my office reminded me it was that time of year to make the "Pumkin Roll" for our office Thanksgiving Party. Thank you, thank you, thank you Paula for another memorable receipe. Rhonda B. Schrenk

I made this about 4 years ago for Thanksgiving dessert. My sister loved it! She never eats desserts... every year for her birthday she wants me to make not one but two of these. That way she has one for herself that she doesnt have to share. I always have hard time with the gelatin folding in and not coagulating. So I found that can just leave out the gelatin part and just add the rum in small amounts at a time. And it works out great!

Easy to make. Tasted good and it was a very nice change...definitely needed the caramel sauce. Really appreciated the review that advised adding the gelatin mixture before it completely cooled. Is there any way to avoid cracking the cake?
