    Cinnamon rolls are reserved for special occasions in our house, like birthdays or holidays. I usually use a Fairy Roll recipe, but when I'm really feeling like an amazing cinnamon roll, I make these ones. I can't take credit for this recipe. It came from a lady in my neighborhood who was famous for these cinnamon rolls. And I know why. They look pretty. And they taste amazing.
