These little boys sold 28 1/2 dozen of these rolls to earn over $700.00 to help a little friend who has cancer. What a nice project for them to do with the help of their mom of course.

 This handy timer keeps me from over baking things because it goes all over the house for me.  the other little tool is an antique nut grinder but you can still find them on the market.  I just use it to sprinkle a few nuts on the top or inside too for my nut lovers.

  2. I just changed the filling and glaze recipes to reduce them. I think it was too much for this size of a batch. If you have the filling too thick in your rolls then they will bake and the dough spirals separates. My first batch was perfect and the second one just a little too much filling in it. Either way, It is delicious. Best wishes on your baking. Enjoy!
