I ran across this recipe I may have to give it a try. It's one that has gotten great reviews on Reddit. I can't really call it a secret, if we're all getting our hands on it. This looks to be the perfect recipe for me and other fellow Cinnamon Roll Lovers. We're Lovin' Cinnamon Rolls, but not the time it takes to make them. Especially if / when they don't turn out! Spend half a day or more waiting for the dough to rise and rise again, with way less than stellar results. Well, that's my experience.
If I can't make them as good as Bakery Cloud Nine, well I can't and most others can't either OMG so YUMMY! Cinnamon Roll Cake might make it in my kitchen with my baking skills. Also, it doesn't have to look pretty, as long as it's tasty. That's a rule in my kitchen most times! It looks homemade, created with love. Not to mention someone named Big Mama is associated with this recipe. IT HAS TO BE YUMMY RIGHT?!!!
