    Hi Juliana,
    Thanks for your kind comments.
    Regarding the cinnamon powder, you can get it from any supermarket like NTUC, Shop n Save, Cold Storage which they come in those spice bottles, but I got mine from a shop (Phoon Huat) selling all kinds of baking stuffs in Bedok North.
    As for the amount of cinnamon is really depends on your taste. As for myself, I sprinkle all over until it covers the dough almost completely.
    Hope you enjoy baking & eating them as much as I do. :D Eddie

    Hi Eddie,

    I read about your blog from my collegue. I tried your cinnamon roll recipe but the layers sort of “stuck” together and it looked nothing like the perfect swirls you had in your pictures. I am trying to trouble shoot but I think it is because I didn’t put enough sugar to coat the layers.

    I live in the United States and miss Singapore a lot. Thanks for posting your recipes so that you can share them with us Singaporeans living in Western “exile”.

    Thanks again.

    Hi there Julie, thanks for dropping by. My guess is that there was’nt enough cinnamon powder in-between too. Just keep on experimenting, that’s what baking & cooking are all about. Enjoy yourself & all the best wishes to you.
