About the Dessert
Pumpkin Tower is a monument dessert, as intimidating as it is delicious.
There is no fixed recipe, but there are several requirements:
- Pumpkin Tower shall be a multi-layered, looming monstrosity.
- It must contain at least one layer of pumpkin dessert (i.e. pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread, a whole pumpkin, etc.).
- Each Pumpkin Tower must be at least one layer taller than the previous.
- To be official, Pumpkin Tower must be registered and approved by the Pumpkin Tower Consortium.
- The Pumpkin Tower Theme should ideally be sung by participants at the slicing ceremony. (See sheet music below.)
