The 2011 Zolman Pumpkin Bake-Off

We didn’t plan any big special meal for today but I did have a recipe for some pumpkin cinnamon rolls I wanted to try. And Toban wanted to make his Mom’s pumpkin bars. So we decided to have a pumpkin bake-off! Luckily our grocery store was open today (and as busy as any day).

Vada was the official judge and she took turns helping both of us. Toban’s pumpkin bars took an early lead as his were complete and in the oven while I still had a pile of rising dough. My pumpkin cinnamon rolls made a comeback though when Vada saw the frosting going on.

We plated them side by side and let Vada try both. Which one is your favorite?

The winner is Toban with his Mom’s pumpkin bars!

Vada was a gracious judge when Toban called his Mom to share the results. Vada told her G-Ma that “Dada won…” And that “Mama won”. And “Vada won”. And “Jamie won.”
