we are spending the holiday weekend camping with both boys - a two year old and four month old - for the first time. the intent was to make this cinnamon bread from sweet as sugar cookies to snack on or appease a grumpy two year old. after a disastrous first try - scroll down for the result - i turned the bread into mini bundt cakes and topped them with a cream cheese frosting. they taste like cinnamon rolls with about a quarter of the work. needless to say, all six were long gone before we left for our camping trip.



the first time i made this, i ended up with a mess in my little oven. i still have no idea what i did - too much baking powder? too much baking soda? pan too small? but i'm sure it was my fault, rather than the recipe. i've followed lisa at sweet as sugar cookies for years and have participated in her "sweets for a saturday" posts in the past. i have made a handful of her recipes in the past and they always turned out well. regardless, i was able to salvage two slices out of the middle for me and my favorite two year old to have for breakfast. the rest went in the trash. it wasn't all bad - the flavor was good and i noticed the ratio of filling to bread was way off. after a few tweaks, i baked it again in mini bundts and was excited with the results. but not nearly excited as my two year old who had "cake" for breakfast.
