Cinnamon Roll Shooters in Cake Form

I caught myself licking my computer screen when I first saw this cake in my RSS feed. When I realized what I was doing, I quickly wiped my screen and thanked the Lord no one caught me.

A few years ago I had come across this recipe Have Your Cake…

I subscribe to Grace’s RSS feed and think you should as well. She takes BEYOND AMAZING photos. Everyone of her photos makes me feel like I am about to bite into the cake, cookies, or bar. She takes me there, if you know what I mean. She is so good that I feel it is only right to give her credit for my increasing skirt size.

When My coworker came into day she said that she had been reading some food blogs and had realized that it is a very popular cake in the south with just a few variations, some add vanilla to the icing, some do layers with the cake and topping and some swirl. I preferably like to add more icing, since I am fond of frosting, icings, and glazes. My hips prove it.
