For the Cream Cheese Glaze:
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese

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. 😉
