Make them for your family for a memorable holiday breakfast or wrap them up with bows and gift them to those you hold dear. Better yet, create memories and start a new holiday tradition as you learn to make these delicious treats with your children or significant other. After keeping her Copycat Cinnabon® (Cinnamon Roll) recipe a secret for many years, Tess has decided to share it exclusively to those that register for this class. She has often been told that her rolls are considered better than actual Cinnabon® rolls. You will love these billowy, warm, luscious, gooey rolls topped with cream cheese frosting that is out-of-this-world delicious. In addition, new to her holiday dessert class is her version of Basque “Burnt” Cheesecake. The exterior resembles that of a crème brulèe, and the interior is light and more airy than a New York Style Cheesecake and has a “mousse like” consistency. It is masterpiece in and of itself.
