Recipe: Ambitious Kitchen — Best Cinnamon Rolls
Notes: Made with pride colors.
| Taster | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aaron | 7 / 10 | Nice soft texture with some chew, nice cinnamon level. I miss the slight crunch or caramelization that can happen with cinnamon rolls. It’s almost too fluffy. The cream cheese could benefit from a bit of acid. |
| Jamel | 8 / 10 | Perfect chew and tear, flavor was balanced with cinnamon and sugar. Could use more tang in the icing. |
| David | 9 / 10 | Really wracking my brain trying to think of anything I dislike about this cinnamon roll. |
| Ellie | 9.5 / 10 | Literally cannot think of a single critique, she’s perfect. Slight preference for icing over cream cheese frosting, but damn the cream cheese frosting is good too. |
