Tips:
- Choose the right cake mix. For the best results, use a white or yellow cake mix. Chocolate cake mix can also be used, but the cinnamon rolls will be darker in color and have a slightly different flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cinnamon rolls tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the cinnamon rolls to rise properly.
- Don't overfill the cinnamon rolls. Too much filling will make the cinnamon rolls difficult to roll and they may burst open while baking.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the cinnamon rolls warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
