  • Big Fun: An Enormous, and Delicious, Cinnamon Roll

    This is a guest post from CakySpy.

    Have you ever wondered "what would happen if you baked a package of pop-n-bake cinnamon rolls as one long, continuously huge cinnamon roll?".

    If so, you're not alone. And happily, I have the answer: it's basically the easiest way ever to make a big pile of awesome. And, ah, you know, work your way toward morbid obesity.

    The finished product vaguely resembles a cross-section of a very old tree--but in this case, each ring in its spiral is a layer of delicous.

    Now, I'm not quite sure if these pictures really convey scale. If you need a realistic idea of the scale of this thing, consider the size of a football player's head, in a helmet, and you'll be getting the idea.

    A Very Large Cinnamon Roll

    Serves 1-8, depending on how hungry you are

    Ingredients

    Procedure


    • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    • Place one of the rolls in the center of a large, lightly buttered baking pan (either 9x9 or 9x13-inch). Unroll the next one and continue it in a spiral around the first one; repeat with the succeeding rolls until you have one long, continuous snail of a cinnamon roll.
    • Bake 25-29 minutes or until browned.
    • Spread with the provided icing.
    Enjoy. 
    What is the biggest cinnamon roll you ever had?
