Sweet Rolls:
In a bread machine, add the dough ingredients in order to the pan and select dough setting.

Once dough has risen, melt the 1½ TBS butter. On a floured surface pat out the dough to a 16x14-inch rectangle. Brush the surface of the dough lightly with the melted butter. Mix the brown sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border at the long end closest to you. Starting at the covered long end, tightly roll up dough into a log. Cut the log into 18 rolls. Arrange the rolls on parchment paper lined cookie sheets leaving 2 inches between the rolls. Flatten slightly into ovals. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about an hour.

In a deep fryer, heat oil to 350ºF. In batches, gently transfer rolls to hot oil, turning once, until golden and puffed-about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. Transfer to a rack and let cool.

Icing:
In a large bowl, beat together the berries and butter. Gradually beat in sugar alternately with cream, making 3 additions of sugar and 2 of cream. Spread over the cooled rolls.

Alternative Icing:
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
In a blender or food processor, puree strawberries and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add powdered sugar slowly, until well combined. Mix in vanilla and the strawberry puree a few Tbsp at a time to taste and desired consistency.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to thicken and spread over the cooled rolls.
