I love to host parties for my friends and family. I have hosted parties through different companies and this is through Tryazon. This party was for Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls. I received coupons to go to the store and get Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls to serve at the party. This party was for the new Microwaveable Cinnamon Rolls. Unfortunately, there were none at Meijer or Kroger, so I went ahead and got Rhodes Cinnamon Rolls, Giant Cinnamon Rolls, and Dinner Rolls.
My party kit contained the following:
- 3 Coupons for free Rhodes products
- Oven Mitt
- Coupons for my guest
The day we were supposed to have the party we were on a train ride and knew we would not make it home in time so did a last minute reschedule and moved the party to last Monday, October 12, 2015. We invited the neighbors over for dessert before it was time to put the kiddos to bed.
As I was getting ready for the party I knew we had to put the rolls out 4-6 hours before we were going to bake them. I had no idea how big the jumbo cinnamon rolls were going to be, so I only baked 4 jumbo cinnamon rolls, 4 regular cinnamon rolls, and 6 dinner rolls. I also tried to make pear pie for the first time. To me that was enough dessert for us to fill up on.
I followed the instructions by spraying the pans and the plastic wrap so the rolls would not stick. I set the pans on the oven so the dough could proof. The stove was warm because I was baking the pear pie (which was cooking at 350° for 50-60 min.). Apparently the heat was too much for the rolls because they all over proofed. The rolls were gigantic and growing out of the pan. When I took the plastic wrap off the rolls the cinnamon rolls were no problem, but the wrap got stuck on the dinner rolls and a few of them deflated. I cooked them in the oven for the stated amount of time 15-20 minutes. The cinnamon rolls fell flat and were crispy/crunchy. Instead of being soft and gooey they almost felt stale. The dinner rolls came out as one big piece. They were extremely crunchy and did not taste like they have in the past.
Although the rolls did not turn out as planned we still had a great time testing all the desserts. The kids had fun running around playing while us adults ate the goodies. I made sure to pass out coupons so everyone could go purchase more at the store.
