Chelsea Buns

I know I have been missing in action for soooooo long..........!!  Well I did done some cooking and baking delicious cakes, but unfortunately I was just too busy (or I should said lazy too) to take out my camera to take shots at it.

Today I have baked this Chelsea Buns (also known as Cinnamon Rolls).  I have been searching for this recipe for quite awhile until I saw Wendy of Table for 2......or more and I know I will make this very soon too.  After finished baking this, I get everyone to taste it but my sister asked me have I taken any photo of it yet?  I told her just be with it and to dig it but she insist me to post it in my blog so that she can view it next time to bake it too.  So here with........
