Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) cinnamon rolls with icing
- 1 package green sparkling sugar sprinkles
- 1 package non-pareils sprinkles
- 1 package star sprinkles
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven according to cinnamon roll package instructions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy release.
- Structure Formation: Carefully unroll cinnamon rolls, arranging the first pastry in a zigzag pattern to create the tree’s base. Strategically connect subsequent rolls, pressing edges together to form a triangular silhouette.
- Architectural Design: Construct each tier progressively narrower, maintaining a symmetrical evergreen shape. Ensure firm connections between pastry segments to preserve the intricate design during baking.
- Baking Process: Centrally position the pastry formation on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, following package guidelines and monitoring color and texture carefully.
- Decorative Finishing: Immediately after removing from oven, generously drizzle white icing across the warm surface, allowing it to flow naturally. Embellish with green sugar sprinkles, non-pareils, and crown with a star-shaped topper to complete the festive Christmas tree design.
Notes
- Precision Placement: Arrange cinnamon rolls carefully, creating a zigzag pattern that gradually narrows to form a perfect tree silhouette.
- Seamless Connections: Press roll edges tightly together to prevent separation during baking and maintain the tree’s structural integrity.
- Icing Technique: Drizzle white icing while the pastry is still warm to ensure smooth, natural coverage and maximum flavor absorption.
- Festive Decoration: Sprinkle green sugar and non-pareils immediately after icing for a vibrant, holiday-inspired presentation that catches everyone’s eye.
