Sweetheart Cinnamon Buns

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and the best way to show that special someone you care is through their stomach.  We don’t talk a lot about our personal lives on our blog to often, but us girls at Blooming Bites have some experience when it comes to the day of love.  

Tessa is married to her high school sweetheart, and Sammy just celebrated 5 years with the man she loves. These incredible men in our lives deserve to be spoiled, and these next few blog posts are going to give you some idea’s on how to do that.  Through cooking of course!

These Sweetheart Cinnamon Buns are a great way to start your Valentine’s Day off.  And it couldn’t be easier. We store bought our favorite pre made cinnamon bun dough, which is the Pillsbury brand.  Then we unraveled them very gently, leaving the center coiled which will then create the rounded top portion of your heart  Gently bring the unraveled part of the dough toward the center to create a point at the bottom to complete your heart shape. We didn’t want to cut off the extra dough so we just wrapped the extra around and up the other side (see photos for example).  We had so much fun making these, your men and even your kids will love how they look and taste, it’s a win win! Happy baking everyone!
