Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes

Who loves cinnamon rolls? I do! I’ve been known to eat a whole pan. Not that I condone that sort of behavior! I realized that I hadn’t baked any cupcakes in a long time and as I was humming and hawing over what flavor I was craving, I saw a tube of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in the fridge (yes, I cheat sometimes!) and my mind was made up!

Glaze
  1. Mix powdered sugar with vanilla and slowly add in milk, ensuring not to flood the mixture
  2. The mixture needs to be thick enough to not pour all over the sides of the cupcakes but not too thick that you cannot pour correctly
  3. Drizzle glaze over cupcakes when thoroughly cooled
