This Pillsbury Cinnamon Roll Hack Is My New Favorite Fall Breakfast
If you’re currently binging The Great British Bake Off and suddenly feeling inspired to make a showstopping masterpiece, the good news is that you don’t have to be an experienced home cook to turn out a delicious and beautiful-looking delight. Recently, a cute trick has gone viral on Instagram — it’s racked up nearly 10 million views — promising to help you create the most adorable pumpkin-shaped cinnamon rolls. The best part? You don’t need any fancy kitchen tools or skills.
The ingenious trick involves layering four pieces of kitchen twine on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and then plopping a canned cinnamon roll in the center of the string. Then, tie each piece of twine together to form indentations in the cinnamon rolls, mimicking the pumpkin grooves. Then, bake them according to the package instructions. When they come out of the oven, remove the string, drizzle icing on top, and stick a cinnamon stick inside of them to mimic the pumpkin’s stem.
Home cooks are obsessing over this easy trick. One person commented on the post, “This is so creative.” Another user mentioned, “This is so cute and so fun! I love it!”
If you really want to go all out with the fall theme, you can follow this trick using the pumpkin spice flavored cinnamon rolls from Pillsbury. Or you can get creative with the stem and insert an edible treat like pretzel sticks or Pocky biscuits.
No matter which route you decide to take, this trick is quick and easy to implement. From there, it’s up to you how you want to customize it. If you take it further, you can have fun decorating it, like dyeing the icing orange or sprinkling some edible glitter on top.
