Sweet Potato Roll

Happy new year everyone. Hope you had a wonderful year and ready for another terrific year.
Starting from ThanksGiving till the end of the year average American gains about 3 pounds and I know exactly where my 3 pounds came from :) . One of my co workers got this amazing Pumpkin roll to the office...and it was heaven in my hands ...aaaahhhhh...holy music :)

Since I did not want to make pumpkin roll I made sweet potato roll and it was equally divine and I reduced the amount of fat and sugar as the sweet potato is naturally a little bit sweeter than pumpkin

Sweet Potato Roll (Sweet potato cake rolled with cream cheese filling)
