A couple weeks ago, the faculty/staff at my school had our annual bake-off. The desserts are numbered and put on a table for everyone to try and the judges pick the top three. Last year, when I entered the bake-off, my dessert was a big flop. The people next to me were pushing it around on their plates, saying, "What's this? I'm done with this..." as they pushed it to the far corner of their plate. Yeah, a BIG blow to my self-esteem, as you can imagine. I'm just glad no one knew I made it!
But I was determined to do better, so all year I've been working on my recipe for cinnamon rolls, and I entered them into the bake-off. I was in complete shock when they announced I won first place! The judges all wrote down their comments about it, and one said, "I'm nine years old, and it's Christmas morning!"
The prize was a gift certificate to Cafe Rio, which was great! If anyone has a recipe they think is a winner, let me know! I'm going to start working hard now for next year!
CONGRATULATIONS, LACEE! I want your final recipe for your cinnamon rolls! Tell me what secrets to know about it.
