Breaking Up with Cinnamon Roll

Dear Cinnamon Roll,

Although, I appreciate everything you have done for me over the years, I feel like it is time to move on. It’s not you, it’s me. I will always remember the good times we have had. Nothing will ever take that away, but I have finally realized that there are other breakfast pastries that are as good if not better than you.

Love,
Bea

PS – Can I get my CDs back? Just give them to Starling. She’ll get them to me.

I’m in charge of making a breakfast birthday treat for a coworker tomorrow, and I automatically defaulted to the breakfast pastry staple: the cinnamon roll.  I can’t deny the tastiness of a well-made cinnamon roll, but they are just so boring and completely uninspiring.  So, I resolved to find a replacement – something bigger, better, and tastier.  I trolled the internet for a few hours, and then I found it on www.thekitchn.com (I really love that site. A lot.).

Cinnamon Roll, I’d like you to meet your replacement, Sticky Lemon Roll with Lemon Cream Cheese Glaze.

A sweet yet tart glaze on top of a buttery yeast roll? YES PLEASE.

I can’t wait to make these tonight, and I will give you a full report of how they turn out and coworker reviews as soon as I can!
