Stacked Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree

When Pillsbury sent me their latest grouping of seasonal recipes, I knew I had to share this one. It's so cute, and it's composed of cinnamon rolls. I mean, I don't see any other necessary components to make this awesome.

This recipe is courtesy of Pillsbury - check out their other holiday ideas. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree

Ingredients

• 1 can (12.4 oz) pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
• 1/2 teaspoon colored sugar

Procedure

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Separate dough into 8 rolls. Use kitchen scissors or knife to cut each roll into 4 pieces.
2. Shape each piece into small ball, and place on cookie sheet. Place 10 balls in a single layer, clustered and touching together to form a round disk shape. Continue with a formation of 8 balls, then 6 balls, then 4 balls, 3 balls and finally a single ball. There will be a total of 6 disks (including the single ball), which will form the layers of the tree after baking.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until browned. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer icing to microwavable liquid measuring cup. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until pourable.
4. Use large, flat spatula to transfer largest disk to serving platter or cake plate. Drizzle with small amount of icing, then top with next largest disk. Drizzle with small amount of icing. Continue with remaining disks, ending with single ball. Drizzle remaining icing over tree. After drizzling, immediately sprinkle with colored sugar.

Are you freaking kidding me, this is breakfast? Is this real life??? I think I love this one.
But my favorite breakfast.. that is really hard. I had a pretty fantastic breakfast this morning, but it consisted of way too many things to list.

Cinnamon rolls are a favorite breakfast...Especially the kind with extra frosting...Your cutie-patootie tree would tumble in seconds in this Ninja Baker's household...Well, maybe I'd savor a whiff or two and admire the creation before consuming =) Happy Holidays, Jessie!
