  13. Makes about 18 rolls.

Buttercream Frosting:

  1. In a large bowl, blend powdered sugar, butter, and 3 Tablespoons of the cream with an electric mixer on low speed until combined well.
  2. Slowly add the rest of the cream, 1 Tablespoon at a time until creamy and smooth, but not runny. Add vanilla and mix again.
