How to Make a Cinnamon Roll Snowman
- First, preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 13″x18″ baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Separate cinnamon rolls into individual rolls.
- To Make the Snowman, first place 1 roll toward the top of the pan. Then place a second roll in the middle of the pan. Unravel a third roll into a strip, then loosely coil it around the roll in the middle of the pan. Move the rolls closer together so they’re almost touching each other. Place a fourth roll toward the bottom of the pan.
- Next, unravel 2 more rolls into strips and loosely coil each strip around the bottom roll. Press the bottom rolls up near the middle rolls. Unroll about 1/3 of a seventh roll so you have a short strip of dough.
- Place the dough straight across the top roll on the sheet pan to form the bottom of the snowman’s hat.
- Unroll about another 1/3 of the roll and create the shape of the top of the hat by zig zagging the dough. Press it up against the flat piece to create the full hat.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Then remove from oven and immediately drizzle and smear the icing over the baked snowman.
How to Make the Cinnamon Roll Snowman Breakfast Tray
- First, bake the bacon and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Then was the strawberries and blueberries. Let dry on a paper towel. Once dry, slice the strawberries in half. Peel and separate the mandarin oranges into segments.
- Now let’s decorate your snowman! Start by using two chocolate chips to create the eyes and arrange 7 chocolate chips for the mouth.
- Place a pointed piece of mandarin orange for the nose. Put 3 blueberries down the middle cinnamon roll for the buttons.
- Use 4 strands of Twizzlers Pull-n-Peel to create the scarf–two for around the neck and then two to loop through to create the scarf.
- Stick a half of a piece of bacon on both sides of the middle cinnamon roll for the arms.
- Arrange mini marshmallows at the base of the snowman to create the decorative snow.
- Place the additional toppings, fruit and bacon in small jars or serving bowls on the baking tray. Serve with juice and coffee and enjoy!
Storage

This is so cute! I’m planning to make this for my kid’s on Thanksgiving morning, but I somehow missed the part where it said “Grands” cinnamon rolls. I just bought regular sized cinnamon rolls. Can I just use more rolls to make it bigger?
Hi Danna! Are you able to unravel the regular sized cinnamon rolls? If so, then they’ll work great. If you aren’t able to pull them apart it will be tricky to create the snowman shape. Fingers crossed they work out great. Enjoy!
I thought there was a recipie to make the cinnamon buns from scratch ? humm
Hi Brenda! No, this is a quick and easy way to turn canned cinnamon rolls into a festive and special breakfast treat. Feel free to use a homemade recipe though. Enjoy!
