These are super easy and tasted like you make it all from scratch!! The only change I would make would to only use 1/2 the amount of frosting; was a little too much for us. Will be making these again!! Made for 2012 Spring PAC.

These are so good! So simple with the frozen white dough but you would never know it when you are eating it. They are delicious! Thanks for sharing. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2009.

Sounds great! I had thought there had to be a way of using a pre made bread dough. I suspect you can also use Pillsbury bread dough as well. And that the icing could be made into an orange icing with some zest and little bit of orange juice. I plan on making these soon! Thanks :)
