Have made these twice now, they are easy and very yummy! Anyone one make them. Instead of making crescent rolls, I spooned the batter into muffin tins, let them rise a seciond time and made dinner rolls. Much easier and less time consuming, just as good .

The guys all loved these rolls. They are sweet but not overly sweet. They would be the perfect base for a breakfast danish filled with cream cheese and drizzled with icing. They were a nice accompaniment to our dinner and unfortunately there were none left over to try the breakfast idea! Thanks Carolinafan!

Great rolls! So easy to bake I am definately not a baker but these turned out just fine. The taste is not too sweet as you might expect, but just right.

In all of my 40 years of baking bread and buns, I have never come across a bun recipe that is made with a cake mix! I have to say that I was impressed with this recipe, just the right amount of sweetness and a nice fluffy texture, and one that I will most likely make again.. I used 3 teaspoons yeast, shaped them into a ball and baked them in two round 9-inch cake pans. Thanks for sharing this interesting and easy recipe!...Kitten:)
