Frosted pumpkin roll

I make  plenty of leaves for this pumpkin roll--everyone will want one or two with their slice.  The frosting is actually whipped ganache.

Acorns and leaves to adorn a frosted pumpkin roll...

These are made from marzipan...sweetened almond paste.  They're delicious and will look  terrific on my frosted pumpkin roll for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.  Completed pic to follow!

How cute are these? I did a holiday appetizer idea party on Wednesday evening. The menu included ham and pesto cheese pastries, honey-apple Brie bites in phyllo cups, and a roasted pepper tapenade on toasted baguette rounds, along with these personal-size "crudite" cups. I blanched and chilled the broccoli, asparagus, and fresh green beans, and added carrot and celery sticks and grape tomatoes. In the bottom of the cup is about 2 tablespoons of peppercorn Ranch dressing. I had extra veggies on a platter so if my guests wanted more, they could just refill their cups. And double-dipping? Who cares?!!
