  1. I have to add that I agree with the whole homemade cinnamon bun thing. I want to make them, I really do. They for some reason intimidate me….besides the yeast factor…it’s the rolling out the dough part. My kitchen is not that large…I could use our kitchen table..but then I think about the mess. Oh boy. Now I just think I’m bugging out. 😉

  2. Oh my goodness! Those would be gone in seconds at our house. I wish it were the weekend right now…make time go faster!
