Giant Cinnamon Rolls

I've wanted to try making cinnamon rolls from scratch for a long time, but never plan ahead well enough to start preparing them the night before to have them for breakfast.   I am afraid of experimenting with yeast too.  But, we've had some nice cool days lately, so I had Jeremy get all the ingredients to make them yesterday.  I didn't get them mixed up, but had a free morning and finished them this afternoon.  Oh my goodness!!  They were huge, and hhhhhheavenly!

I made this recipe: Best Ever Cinnamon Buns, with some alterations.  Using a cake mix felt a little like cheating, but it really added to the softness.  Instead of the milk-based drizzle frosting, I made cream cheese frosting.  And, I only keep skim milk on hand, so I actually used some of my carmel macchiato coffee creamer instead of milk in the frosting.  Ohhhh my, oh myyyyyy!
