So, I am starting to do something called: "My Top 10 Favorite Holiday Desserts". My next 9 posts after this one will conclude my top 10 Holiday Desserts. Lets start off with #10.
We have been making this sheet cake for years. Fall thru winter, this recipe would have to be the #1 most "made" recipe here. I know there are lots of Pumpkin Sheet Cake recipes out there but this one takes the cake! So easy too - which is a plus.

Hi Priscilla,

I don't know what will happen with the Recipe Spotlight blog, but I'll give it a go :)
I think it's great that you are homeschooled--do you enjoy it? I always wonder what children think of homeschooling--mine like it some days and don't others. I know they also would like to get away from me sometimes, too!
Keep up the good work with your blog--it really is great!
I have been trying to get my 13 yo daughter into blogging--her passion is baking and I think she would have fun with it--how and when did you get started?
Thank-you!
I forgot to have the comments sent to my email! Sorry, had to comment again so I could do it.
Oh pumpkin cake and cream cheese frosting...yum!! Can't wait to see the rest of you lineup!
Glad you like my new look! :)

Your house must be the best house on the block because you always have the most decadant sweets on hand. Cream cheese and pumpkin is a delicious combination.

I love anything pumpkin so I definitely need to give this a try this season. It is right up my alley with a delicious cake and a cream cheese frosting. I can't resist either!
Pumpkin cake and cream cheese frosting. What a great combo. Can't wait to see what else is coming on that list of yours!
Good job on the sheet cake - and oh gawd...the cream cheese icing - you just did me in (in a good way)
