These cinnamon rolls get help from a box of cake mix by replacing some of flour in the dough. After the dough rises, it is rolled out. Then cinnamon, brown sugar and sprinkles are sprinkled on top of melted butter spread on the dough before the dough is rolled into a log. The dough is sliced and placed into a baking dish before rising again before being baked. When the rolls are warm from the oven, cream cheese frosting is spread on top and more sprinkles are used to top the rolls.
