The Birthday Cinnamon Roll Cake Creation

Every birthday in this house comes with the option of requesting your dessert and/or dinner. Well, almost all of them. Mom is the baker/chef, so hers are whatever everyone else wants to eat. But I digress! My husbands birthday request was a custom job. He wanted a new version of a cinnamon roll cake. So....

Into the kitchen!

I bought 4 cans of the jumbo sized cinnamon rolls. But you only need 3. I baked 6 per pan in 2 pans that I had. 

Once those were done, I spread strawberry filling over the tops of one set.

                    Looks like I killed something in the kitchen here....

Then I stacked the second set on that. The final step is to pour the icing over them. 

Ya'll.... talk about diabetes in a pan. But so worth it! These were amazing. And I can totally see me making this recipe again. Just not often. After all, I'm trying to lose another 45 pounds this year.  

3 Ingredient Nutella Cookie recipe

I love baking. But some things take up too much of my time. So I like finding simple recipes. A buddy of mine had sent me this recipe from an iFunny post.

They are made of 3 ingredients, super quick to make, and taste delicious! I’ll add in my modifications though. The one from iFunny was a little too dry. So technically you might need a fourth ingredient – water. You can also stuff these with Oreo cookies for an even better treat.

What you will need:

1 egg

1 cup of flour

1 13 ounce jar of Nutella (1 cup didn't seem enough)

Water as needed

Simply mix all ingredients until you have a good batter. Water may be needed to help moisten it. These are easy to roll into 1 inch balls.

Bake at 350 degrees. They should only take 6-8 minutes. Take them out when they are a little moist to make them soft.

The first time I made these, I used the Hershey spread instead.

They make a richer chocolate cookie but come out just as good!

Always keep an eye for the deals. I got mine at Target on sale with a coupon! Sometimes they also have Cartwheel deals. This time around, the coupon and the offer had different sizes.
