These look simply beautiful. Thank you for these ideas, PJ. Have you ever tinted yeast-risen dough? I have half a notion to put some red coloring in it, or else sprinkle little Valentine sprinkly things on top instead of the white sugar. They wouldn't burn, would they?? Or I wonder if I could paint the baked rolls. No, probably would mess them up. I'll leave well enough alone. I was looking for an alternative to chocolate, and this sure will do it. Thanks again, PJ.
Beth, you can tint, so long as you understand the dough does have a yellowish cast, so if you add red, it won't come out pink - it'll be orange. Blue would be kind of greenish (ewwww...) Maybe some colored sugar on top? Maybe some tinted icing? You go, girl - never leave well enough alone! PJH
