    I love this resource of having all Thanksgiving Desserts in one place so I am able to look at the list of choices in one sitting. Some of my family doesn’t like pumpkin (such a bummer) so this Thanksgiving dessert collection has been great to get a variety of dessert recipes from.

  2. Julie says:

    All of theses desserts are really good and they don’t take up much time they are perfect for Thanksgiving!

  3. Nancy Costa says:

    Can this be frozen.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You know, I haven’t tried freezing this recipe before… it usually gets eaten too quickly! 🙂 But, I imagine you probably could. Just make sure the cake has completely cooled and then thaw completely in the fridge before eating again. You’ll have to let us know how it turns out if you do decide to freeze it. You can also make it ahead of time and leave in the fridge overnight until ready to bake. The finished cake will last stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for a few days.

    These tips are so helpful, kristyn! I especially love the ones about how to store leftovers, and setting up the display with labels (will be so helpful for guests with allergies too!). Happy thanksgiving!
