Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Roll Wreath

Unroll 2 cinnamon rolls and place the strips next to each other on a flat surface. Then, pinch the two ends together and twist the strips together to form a sort of braided rope. Pinch the bottom and top ends of the top together to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining 6 cinnamon rolls.

⁉️ FAQ

Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

Why do some cinnamon rolls have to be refrigerated and some don’t?

It’s all about the icing or frosting. Cinnamon roll icing is largely sugar with a little milk. The sugar stabilizes the milk, so it’s good at room temperature for a couple of days. Other cinnamon roll recipes use a cream cheese frosting which must be refrigerated.

Can you freeze cinnamon rolls?

Normally cinnamon rolls freeze very well, but we don’t recommend freezing these wreaths as it’s too hard to remove the air from all the surfaces of the wreath shape.

Can I use any brand of cinnamon roll for this recipe?

Absolutely! Just be sure it comes with icing.
