cinnamon rolls, a day affair

Last night around midnight, I had the craving for cinnamon rolls.  Not just regular cinnamon rolls, but the oooey, gooey, Cinnabon types, loaded with cream cheese and cinnamon.  I've had a recipe in my possession for quite some time that I look to for these types of occasions.  So today, before I had to set out for work, I devoted my time to cinnamon rolls.  Typically, I love to bake at home alone, something about it, maybe surprising the husband when he gets home, or maybe the opposite, I don't want people to be around when I drop flour all over the floor, or the dough doesn't rise.  Nonetheless, it's fun- except when you decide to photograph the process.  I took images of most of the steps so it's easy for anyone to roll these bad boys up.

*A NOTE ABOUT THE FROSTING:  After trying the rolls, I think adding 1-2 more ounces of cream cheese will make the frosting less sugary, which I prefer.


Mix dough, then let rise.

After several hours of prepping and baking, it was finally time to have my reward.  Yummy cinnamon rolls with earl grey tea.
