Bake 31 | Blondie 10 | Cinnamon Roll
I’d find it hard to believe that there’s a bigger cinnamon roll fan on the planet than me. Tell me I’m wrong? From the extra caramelly, crispy ones, the tall sugar sprinkled flowerpot ones to big, fat & fluffy frosted ones - I love them all. I’m absolutely spoiled for choice locally (some of my favourites tagged below) but if you can’t get out, or you’re saving the pennies for fall - this twist on a classic is what you should reach for.
