How on earth?

In the below post I mentioned that I was doing some cooking today.  Yesterday I had done some as well and thought I should finish.  I wish I could say that I am a lot more of a baker.  I look at recipes and think I can handle this, but after I start I realize that there is sometimes a lot more than just a 5 star rating on all recipes-with a few tweeks here and there.  EVERYONE says its easy, but sometimes I think they are stretching the truth. 


My reason for baking: There are two lovely ladies at our church who both had baby girls in the last 2 weeks.  I thought I would bake them some food.  (Jenny and Kelly I have NO idea if you read this, but if you do please know that I will get you food it just won't be in the freezer today).  Thought I would try this new cinnamon roll recipe I have used it before, but fairly new.  Let me say first that the bread machine does the work w/the dough- the dough tastes great-the roll out is fairly easy-filling is superb (yes I have taste tested EVERY STEP thus far).I roll up and cut -this too is easy w/a bread knife- STOP -this is where I think I scewed up.  I think I put too many across.  I did 4 and thinking I should have only done 3.  But not being an experienced baker and not sure of myself and for that rolls looked sooo small I did 4.  For you bakers out there could this be my problem?  If not, please please tell me. 




Now I would like to think that frosting them w/the yummy frosting would help the looks , but I don't think so....so in going w/my new banner on this blog.
My family is THANKFUL they have an ENTIRE pan of cinnamon rolls to eat. I am THANKFUL they don't care what they look like as long as the TASTE ok.

It looks like you needed to use two pans and put 12 in each. It looks like they had no where to rise but up. Although they look very tasty, you should've taken them to your friends.....they look VERY good!!!! Remember looks are not everything.....it's whats inside (flavor) that matters! :o)
Hope to see you soon!
