Directions:Open and unroll crescent rolls in one piece. With your fingers, press seams together to form one piece of dough. Mix together butter and cinnamon, gently spread over the dough. Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Drop teaspoons of the cream cheese/sugar mix over the top of the dough. Drop teaspoonful of pie filling (cherry, blueberry, peach) over the dough as you did the cream cheese. Starting on the long end, carefully roll the dough horizontally with the filling and cream cheese inside. Insert a plastic baby at any place within the dough. Place on a baking pan with the seam side down in a circle, pinching the ends together.
Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. While the cake is baking, use the food coloring to dye the sugar. Can also use store bought sugar sprinkles. When cake is cool, pour icing oven the top of the cake. Sprinkle with the colored sugar, alternating the three colors as you go around the circle. |
