Yes, I suppose if I iced it all together, it would work as one bun even if it consists of a bunch. I'm used to making the refrigerated rolls in a round pan, so I suppose I could dump them out onto a cake plate and treat it as a single layer.
Thanks!
Oh my gosh, that's fantastic! I think the kids would love this. He's turning four and I"m sure the idea of pulling off chunks of the thing will be very attractive to him and his friends. Thanks SOOO much for all of the suggestions!
The previous comment is sort of what I was imagining. Rolling a really long strip. I just don't know if it will bake properly. Though I suppose the circular pans are designed for multiple rolls to bake in, so why not? It just won't start with quite as many little spaces in the pan (since it will be one solid roll). Does that make sense?
I was also imagining making two of them and layering one on top of the other with a cream cheese-style frosting between and over the top.
I think I may need to do a trial run on this one, though...
This is a great website! I just found it today and posted (since it's impossible to look up "giant cinnamon roll" on the web and get what I"m looking for). And I've already had great responses. Thanks!
More ideas are welcome!
I'm having a breakfast birthday party for my son. I'd love to make a giant cinnamon roll (one roll the size of a cake). Any idea on how to do this? Would it cook properly if I made cinnamon roll dough and merely rolled a giant one? Any thoughts?
tangerine hasn't favorited a post yet.
I think I'm going to end up going with the monkey bread idea because I think the kids would get a huge kick out of pulling it apart. They are, after all, four years old (and I'm over thirty and would have a great time myself).
Thank you all again for your help. It has been invaluable.
