Lucullian delights
Those buns are so cruel TO WATCH on sunday sunny morning with a sea view. It seems somebody will have to get oven hot 
Gorgeous pics!
Very pretty pictures - I love how your daughter hand-modeled! 
I think you are too hard on yourself. Your DB creations always look fantasic. Including these buns. Yum.
Always so jealous that you guys get to bake together.
Lovely buns.
Oh Ilva you are much too hard on yourself! They look beautiful (and I'm sure they would have even without your daughter), and you actually could have the icing on them which I think makes a big difference in the way they look. That is so much fun that you bake with Karen and Tanna too.
Ilva - I love the photo with your daughter's hand - such beautiful cinnamon rolls! Cinnamon rolls (kaneelirullid) are a 'national bun' here in Estonia, too, so I decided to try sticky buns instead, as I've never made them before. But I'm doing the same thing as you last month - it's just after noon here, and my buns have been rolled and are now proving - so I'm daring baking real-time, so to say
I didn't make the sticky buns either for the same reason. It always sounds like so much fun when you ladies "bake" together!
They look beautful. You must have had so much fun baking them online with Karen. And with your daughter!
Once, when I was little, my mother wasn't happy with the look of a cake she had made for her guests so she told them that I had baked it Their compliments didn't end.
I agree that these were a bit dry and far from our Swedish cinnamon buns
Ilva, your buns look beautiful... And these photos are particularly sweet with your lovely daughter hands!
Ilva,
These are the sorts of invasions I like! I love the bay and vanilla sugar variation! Your buns are gorgeous and that little hand is so cute!
Owww! Gorgeous pictures, and the one with your daughters hands make me long for a 5-yr old to cuddle....
Haven't even begun writing my post. Vow that yours is the only one I look at. First have to finish mine!
Thanks for the kind words, I cringed every time I caught a glimpse of myself in that webcam! Loved baking with the two of you again!
I'm a grown up, no naughty bun references from me. Ooooh, no. I only did the cinnamon buns too, the sticky buns just looked too sticky. You're seem perfect, wonderfully bite sized
I love your pictures, Adorable! And your rolls look perfect!

This is it properly, I hope as I copied it over to here so it should be right!! Vida x x x x
oh lovely lovely lovely buns Ilva. I did the sticky ones only and they were great. Next week I will be trying the cinnamon rolls though.
Love that photo with a little hand holding the cinnamon roll. My mother used to make bread 3-4 times a week (by hand!) She would always save some of the regular bread dough and make it into cinnamon rolls, so I have a lot of memories of them.
Very fun reading how you, Tanna, and Karen are doing the challenges together.
I had a miniature person to help me this time too and her buns definitely looked better than mine! Your challenge sounds as fun and looks as amazing as ever!
The pictures are truly mouth-watering, Ilva! And I do actually agree with you about the slight dryness of the plain cinnamon buns, but Iīm thinking underbaking them a bit could help or using a more humid filling, but I think itīs mainly because it doesnīt have as much butter as other bun recipes have. Thatīs exactly why I liked the sticky bun variety better. Of course, my hips cried slightly, but I just told them to shut the #*## up!
Nothing could be more classic or beautiful that sweet little fingers on gorgeous cinnamon buns!
You do have gorgeous cinnamon buns here!
Oh how I wish my web cam worked with you two, I know who would look the least elegant (it wouldn't be you). Have to see if there's anyway to do that.
Great fun again!
Lovely buns...well done.
How nice to have had the cinnamon bun experience with some fellow DBers!
Ilva, They came out gorgeous and your photos are beautiful (as always)
What great photos with that cute little hand! I always love your photos. Yes, my niece has just introduced me to iChat and I can see my sister when we talk which is nice, so your experience with fellow DB'ers sounds so fun. How can you be busy and a bit lazy at the same time? No way! Excellent post -- I really enjoyed it.
look at the glaze - almost kinky! good job.

What a great thing to be baking together! I love blogging for that reasn, the sharing of experience ans frienship! Your buns are outstanding!
Love the field of cinnamon buns...they look so good!
your cinnamon buns looks as delicious as the ones of my swedish friends here in Geneva ! I usually beg her to give me one or two to bring them home.... If this a problem for you to eat them, let me know ! I'm always ready to help
What a beautiful little hand..and clever in the kitchen too!!! And of course it goes without saying that your buns look absolutely fantastic, these are mouthwatering pix! What fun to be able to share in the experience of baking with other bakers online. This technology stuff is great!! You did good Ilva
Ilva, your cinnamon buns look fabulous!! I know you think you never do these challenges to high standards but it just isn't true!! I don't think I've ever seen one our challenges you didn't complete with great grace and poise.
I love being able to bake with you each month and then go see your fantastic pictures!!
Your buns look beautiful, and I love the eager little hand in the photos. It's interesting to here from a Swede what she thought of the buns - if you ever bake your normal cinnamon bun recipe, please do blog it and make sure you include the recipe!
I love the idea of baking over webcams. I might need to find a baking buddy of my own!
I am very curious as to what goes into a Sweedish cinnamon bun, since you are the second person I've "heard" say that today!
Your buns look amazing!
Great job! I don't know what you're talking about with your DB challenges - all your stuff looks Fab! But the pics with your daughter's...you can't help but smile!
Buns everywhere indeed!!!
Ilva, what beautiful cinnamon buns! And you had an excellent little helper!
Ilva!
Your buns look so delicious! And how interesting that you baked over webcam!! Well done! This challenge was certainly delicious and I had a lot of fun with it too
Thank you to all of you! We made it this month too!
they are simply perfect! In fact I find them too beautiful to eat love your photos!
These are so gorgeous, Ilva! And I love it how your daughter modeled the buns so charmingly. It reminded me again how linked cinnamon buns are to childhood memories. I like how Karen called you , Tanna and herself the baking bunnies...
Love the pics, that material is beautiful and the shot of your daughter's hand reaching for a cinnamon roll. Tanna is so cool and mad, but a very lovely mad, getting up at that time to make these with you and Karen.
Once again, your food and photo's look amazing!!!
Your photos are beautiful!
Ilva - What a gorgeous result, but that is to be expected given your proclivity to showcasing beautiful things. I love the texture of your buns. I am, additionally, really intrigued by your bay leaf and sugar filling. And what is your "usual" recipe for cinnamon buns? Are you going to make them on Swedish Cinnamon Bun Day on 4 October?
I've been working my way up to you, babe.. la la la lala That's a song. :P
I'm so happy to finally get back to one of my absolute favorites! And what a treat to see first thing that cute chubby lil hand holding that gorgeous cinnamon roll! Perfection, if you ask me. =)
okay I'm keeping this short, cuz I'm making a pit stop here for a few minutes to go check out what I've been missing.
xoxo
You did a fabulous job! I love the photos too, they are so cute.
I beg to differ on your opinion of your daring baker photography; in the early months your photographs and Ivonne's made me want to be a DB, while simultaneously convincing me I wasn't worthy.
And I love that you and Tanna and Karen bridged continents and oceans to bake together. Somewhere in the universe my grandmothers are smiling -- they both believed in camaraderie built in the kitchen like a good sauce, a good stew, a fresh loaf of bread and a flaky pastry.
What beautiful cinnamon rolls! And I think it's safe to say that you're now the perfect mother, as if you weren't already.
Yours look so lovely and flakey--perfect to go with a glass of milk!
