Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Prepare your oven according to your cinnamon roll recipe.
Prepare your cinnamon rolls according to instructions and make sure they are defrosted, but have been refrigerated for about 30-mins to 1 hour before handling.
To make the pumpkin-shaped rolls: take butcher's twine or kitchen twine and cut off 4 pieces of ~6" twine per cinnamon roll.
Wrap the twine around the cinnamon roll to split the difference (in half, then quarters, then the last two tied eights; this process is similar to cutting a pizza).
Repeat with each cinnamon roll.
Place on parchment lined baking tray and bake according to baking instructions.
When finished allow to cool before removing butcher's twine.
Once removed add any icing/frosting from the cinnamon roll recipe/package.
Add one cinnamon stick to the center of each cinnamon roll.
Dust lightly with ground cinnamon.
Plate and enjoy!
To make the spiderweb shaped rolls: take a pair of kitchen shears/scissors and cut approximately 2/3 of the way into the cinnamon roll from the outside (do not cut the center!!). Do this 8 times, similar to cutting a pizza.
Repeat with each cinnamon roll.
Place on parchment lined baking tray and bake according to baking instructions.
When finished allow to cool.
Add icing to your cinnamon roll in circles, going from the outer edge of the cinnamon roll to the center.
Using a toothpick spread the icing from each ring out in a perpendicular motion, creating a spiderweb effect.
Make little cacao nib piles, this will be the bodies of our spiders.
Add desired number of googly eye sprinkles per spider.
Take brown sugar syrup (or black royal icing) and pipe small legs next to each spider.
Repeat for each cinnamon roll.
Plate and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure that your cinnamon roll dough is cold (not frozen) when you begin handling it, otherwise the dough will become sticky and difficult to manipulate. If the dough is particularly sticky and warm, just put back in the fridge for another 20 minutes. Make sure to handle dough with EXTRA care prior to baking! For the pumpkin-shaped rolls make sure to bake on the shorter end of the baking time. This will make it easier to remove the twine and to insert the cinnamon stick. If using frosting for spiderweb rolls, pipe very thinly in circles!
