Ingredients

2 (17.5-ounce) cans jumbo cinnamon rolls with icing (each tube has 5 rolls)
2 ounces cream cheese
sugar crystals in purple, yellow, and green

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a Bundt or tube pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Pop open the cinnamon roll tubes and remove the icing. Then line the bottom with the rolls. You may have to squeeze them in there.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are no longer gooey.
Turn out onto platter to cool.
In the meantime, mix the two icing packets with 2 ounces of softened cream cheese.
Once the cake is cool, spread the icing and decorate with alternating sugar colors.
