This was awesome. I made a batch for my family and they all raved about them. The ones who weren't here, are already waiting for the next batch. I've just begun trying my hand at baking. So, if I can do it, anybody can.

I have never baked a day in my life and found this recipe easy to follow. I used yellow cake mix instead. The recipe didnt say if you should place the buns upsidedown in the baking pan after dipping in the pecan/sugar mix. I needed every detail spelled out for me. So I did half that way-which were much better. The others were somewhat dry for my liking. I melted store bought cream cheese icing and drizzled it over the buns right after baking. Very soft and tasty!

Awesome, they turned out big, tall and tasty. I used a different recipe for the frosting.

These were the best cinnamon rolls my family said they have ever ate before!!! When the rolls were done I frosted them with buttercream frosting and then sprinkled pecans over that and it made them exceptionally good! I will use this recipe from here on out!

Really interesting. The cake mix makes the whole roll gooey and tender like the middle of a bready roll. But, I think this was just a little too sweet and a little too cakey. I think cutting down on the cake mix might be the trick. I like what the mix adds, but I think this is a bit too much.

Splendid idea to use cake mix. My buns turned out great with little hassle. It made plenty for my sister's family with 5 little ones. All the kids liked the buns, even the picky eaters! To make it interesting, use a flavored cake mix instead of plain yellow cake. I used lemon. It went great with the almond-sugar topping. For your icing, include some lemon juice and it's a wonderful citrus breakfast! I served it with milk and bananas for the kids. It looked, smelled, and tasted great!

I thought this recipe was fantastic! I used a little less sugar than the recipe calls for, and subsituted the white cake, for a lemon cake! Everyone gobbled them up! Thank you!

I halfed the recipe and made the dough in the bread machine. They were too plain, not much flavor.

I thought for sure that these would be a no-fail cinnamon roll recipe since the base contained a cake mix. Boy was I wrong! These didn't turn out at all. I'm not sure exactly where I went wrong, but I'm still definitely still on the lookout for THE cinnamon roll recipe!

Super easy. I picked this recipe because I wanted cinnamon rolls now, not ten hours from now. The dough was a dream to work with. I didn't even have to roll it out, just spread it with my hands. I doubled the brown sugar/cinnamon filling and used cream cheese icing instead of topping it with sugar.
