I love pumpkin anything, gingerbread, so-so, but the combination sounds good to me.

I will try these and see how they turn out.

In the sugar glaze - 5 pounds of sugar and only 1 tablespoon of milk? Really?

I have a recipe that I am doing for Thanksgiving this year - a pumpkin gingerbread trifle. I wonder if I take pictures this year if I need to wait a year to post them :-)
