Description

Cinnamon Roll Roses are a visually stunning and delicious pastry made from soft cinnamon roll dough shaped into delicate rose blossoms. These pastries are perfect for festive occasions like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, brunch gatherings, or any special breakfast. They bake to a fluffy, gooey texture and are topped with sweet icing, offering both charm and irresistible flavor.

Ingredients

Pastry Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (with icing)
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Toppings

  • Powdered sugar or extra icing for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin pan to ensure the cinnamon roll roses don’t stick during baking.
  2. Separate and Unroll Dough: Carefully separate the cinnamon roll dough pieces and unroll each piece into a long strip to prepare for seasoning and shaping.
  3. Brush with Butter: Lightly brush melted butter over each dough strip to add moisture and richness that will enhance the flavor and texture.
  4. Sprinkle Sugar and Cinnamon: Evenly sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon over the buttered dough strips to infuse classic cinnamon roll flavors.
  5. Shape into Roses: Roll each strip loosely from one end, keeping the edges uneven to mimic natural rose petals. This loose rolling is key to the realistic rose shape.
  6. Arrange in Muffin Pan: Place each rolled strip into a muffin cup with the spiral side facing up, ensuring they maintain their rose-like form during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the rolls for 15–18 minutes or until they turn golden brown, indicating they are cooked through and have a lovely crust.
  8. Cool and Drizzle Icing: Allow the cinnamon roll roses to cool slightly before drizzling with the included icing or powdered sugar, enhancing sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Roll the dough strips loosely rather than tightly to achieve a more natural and realistic rose shape.
  • You may substitute crescent dough or homemade cinnamon roll dough if desired.
  • For extra soft rolls, cover the pan loosely with foil during the first 10 minutes of baking.
  • Serve the cinnamon roll roses warm to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
