Instead of rolling up cinnamon buns in the regular ol' roll, you can make heart shapes by following these steps:
1. Using your favourite cinnamon bun recipe, make dough and cinnamon-sugar mix.
2. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, spread melted butter over the surface, sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture
3. Starting at the long ends for the rectangle, roll inward from both sides until your rolls meet in the middle
4. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut the roll into individual buns (about 1 inch thick)
5. transfer from cutting surface to a prepared baking dish. As you set the bun in, pinch the middle of the bun to make the pointed part of the heart.
6. Pack buns into your dish so that they are close together. As the buns bake they will only grow so far and maintain their shape.
7. Bake as directed by your recipe
Because this post didn't actually involve the making of the cinnamon bun dough, the post receives a rating of one whisk - unfortunately, your stand mixer is not going to be of any help in rolling these cute buns up into the shape of a heart.
