Before we ate them, that is. I used this recipe, from Sarah of Adventures in Mediocrity. For obvious reasons there is no "after" picture. I appreciate the recipes and tips I get from bloggers who know how to bake, because my mother was not a good baker, and neither am I. I did not frost them, because I have to watch my suger intake, but with enough butter that was not a drawback.
And she calls this one of her adventures in mediocrity?!? I'm glad you didn't, because I'm downloading that recipe right now and giving it a try!

Gentlemen Companions aside, they look divine! I definitely approve of buttering them. I had lots of leftover frosting, ended up eating it by the spoonful. One of these days I've got to give up sugar. It's just so delicious!

I have to avoid these if I am going to lose any weight, unfortunately, i think I gained 8 ounces just looking at this photo!

It just takes practice. I might try making these myself sometime.

I'll have to try your recipe as I love REAL cinnamon rolls (not the icky Cinnabon kind) and I'm no icing girl, too.
This is the recipe I use - http://whatscookingamerica.net/Bread/CinnamonRollsFantastic.htm - sans the icing and I cut them smaller so I can eat one and not feel like I've completely violated all the food rules.

Whoa, you made cinnamon rolls? Who is this woman I call my mother?

An enigma wrapped in a mystery!
