Cinnamon Roll Tea Ring With Cherry Frosting, Heavenly!! You can taste the warm, buttery sweetness of the cinnamon layer and delicious cherry frosting all in one great dessert! And, the best part is, there is NO KNEADING involved plus you can make this the night before and have it ready to bake in the morning! This is from my Great Aunt Linda; she is a fabulous in-law AND cook!! :)”, Simple recipe and a very good idea but for some reason mine had a very strong yeast taste I would like to find a similar recipe without so much of a yeast taste or try using less yeast I’d like it to taste a little more like a cinnamon roll
