Cinnamon Buns
See these, these are cinnamon buns. And they are yummy. Scrummy in fact.
See that icing, that is cream cheese icing. It is oh my god good. I was never all that enthused about cream cheese icing on cinnamon buns. It sounded kinda weird. It's not!! I made sure I did not miss out on even a drip.
The recipe for this came from my sister (who got it from someone who got if from someone who got it from a long forgotten source). She sent it to me ages ago and then hounded me until I baked them. I got a text message every Monday without fail. I'm glad she didn't give up because they are yummy. Did I mention that.

Those are the good recipes, KJ - the ones that have been tested and tried several times, by dear people. :D
These look irresistible and I can completely understand why your sister insisted so much. :D
These remind me of Cinabuns in America. I think the cream cheese icing would be betther though. I cant wait to try it.
These look incredible. I will have to give them a try. Glad I found your blog.
