So yesterday was my birthday, the big 2-4. I was awoken to the sweet sound of the tulip-man singing me the birthday song (which you should probably watch and cherish and send to all your loved ones on their birthdays here on out), which was proceeded by a huge breakfast of Dutch bakery treats. But growing up in my family, no birthday, Christmas, or Easter breakfast was complete without cinnamon rolls. These cinnamon rolls. And they’re perfect for special days for a lot of reasons: The recipe was originally published by the foodies over at Bon Appétit, who just this month released an issue of their magazine shot entirely with iPhones. Seeing as it was my birthday and I just couldn’t be bothered to break out the big ole camera, I drew inspiration from Bon Appétit and shot this whole post with my iPhone! No movie magic or Photoshop tricks here, just decadent foolproof cinnamon rolls for your next special day. You’ll basically just fill your dough with sugar, spice, and everything nice, then roll it into a log. Pro-tip: cut your cinnamon roll log with floss for less mess on your special day. Set the rolls in a pan with enough space for them to all expand. Bake to perfection then devour. Have a happy special day!
