Notes
To keep your Pink Velvet Cinnamon Rolls fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can be refrigerated for up to a week; reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving. For a variation, you can create a cream cheese filling instead of using cinnamon sugar by mixing cream cheese with sugar and vanilla before spreading on the dough.
