A Daring Baker’s Ode to Buns (Cinnamon and Sticky, that is)

finishedcinnamonborder1.jpg

There was once a group called The Daring Bakers,
Who for a challenge were always takers.
Each month they baked something new,
And as a result were never blue.

Marce of Pip in the City is September’s host,
I’d certainly say she has the most.
Cinnamon and sticky buns she chose,
Because those are the best everyone knows!

As usual the Cream Puff was late,
No not because she had a hot date.
September was oh-so-busy,
And a wedding last night threw her into a tizzy.

For the Cream Puff woke on the morning of the post day,
With her head feeling as thick as hay. (okay I never said I was a good poet)
The wedding last night was a bit rowdy,
All Cream Puff remembers is saying howdy.

So the Cream Puff set about preparing the dough,
Happy because for once on a Sunday she had nowhere to go.
The happy little ball of dough rose and rose and rose,
And became a big ball of dough that made Cream Puff happy to her toes. (see brackets above)

The Cream puff divided her dough into two,
So she could give both cinnamon and sticky buns their due.
She started with the cinnamon and made them small,
They were so pretty that you could smell them in the hall.

For the sticky buns she decided that walnuts and dried cherries she’d use,
And she even soaked her cherries in Kirsch because Cream Puff likes booze.
She rolled those as best she could,
They looked so good that they would melt wood. (once again, see brackets above)

But before Cream Puff could put her sticky buns to bed,
She made a caramel glaze that went straight to her head.
The glaze was to line the baking pan,
Let’s just say that Cream Puff became a big fan.

Patience is a virtue so they say,
Cream Puff let her buns rise again while keeping hunger at bay.
As the recipe directed they rose very nice,
They certainly looked better than a bowl of plain rice. (once again, see brackets above)

risenstickyborder.jpg

Into a hot oven the buns went,
And the smell of the baking was like they were from Heaven sent.
The entire house smelled so cinnamony and pretty,
Cream Puff wished she could have a taste - just a little bitty!

But Cream Puff remained as patient as could be,
She knew she’d get her reward - you see!
The cinnamon buns came out first,
They looked so good they’d even quench your thirst. (brackets. above.)

cinnamonglazedborder.jpg

Quickly they were covered in glaze,
Cream Puff would go anywhere to eat these, even a maze.
She shared some with everyone and they all agreed,
Those cinnamon buns were some darn good feed!

stickybunborder.jpg

And as for the sticky buns they soon came out of the oven too,
They smelled so good that they’d make any cow go “moo”. (brackets. above.)
After 20 minutes, Cream Puff flipped them out of the pan,
These were so pretty that these buns you could never ban!

Marce, I thank you for such a great recipe,
It was so good you should charge a fee.
Cinnamon and sticky buns are in my future now that I can make them,
This recipe is like a precious jem!

So the Cream Puff is happy with her buns all done,
They were so delicious they’d even impress a nun.
And so the Cream Puff is to bed now heading,
To sleep off the effects of a Big Fat Italian Wedding!

Ciao!

There once was a girl named Ivonne,
Her post made me laugh all day long,
Her buns looked so good,
I really would be quite rude,
If I did not admire your sweet song (poem).


09/30/07 at 12:20 pm

Ivonne is a super cinammon roll baker,
And a rather nifty poem maker,
As usual everything looks great,
Inspite of her almost being late,
Ivonne, if you’re sharing, there are sure to many a taker!

Beautiful cinnamon buns, beautiful sticky buns, and a super cute post, Ivonne! What fun! :-)


09/30/07 at 12:21 pm

Oh my! what a great post and even greater buns! You creativity is brilliant! I love how the sticky buns turn out. I am always thankful that I have you and Lisa, and the rest of the DBs in my life.


09/30/07 at 12:24 pm

[I’m not even going to give it a shot] see how I’ve put this in brackets? ;)
But I loved it,
it was quite perfect.


09/30/07 at 12:55 pm

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Soon as this was read,
I could but envy you.


09/30/07 at 1:22 pm

A very pretty poem dear Ivonne wrote,
which I read while shoving sticky buns in my throat.
Her beautiful photos made me reach out for another one,
and immediately they were all gone!


09/30/07 at 1:23 pm

I can imagine
The taste of sticky cherries
With walnuts, oh my.

Together they make
One of the most creative
Sticky bun versions.


09/30/07 at 1:51 pm

Ivonne - The prose poetry is very charming - was this written with a fuzzy head, too? The photos, as usual, make me wish I were there in the kitchen with you. The texture of the buns is incredible (you sure work with yeast so well), and I LOVE that you macerated your nuts and currants in kirsch. Better than most bakeries’ sticky buns…


09/30/07 at 2:22 pm

How cute is your poem!!!
Far too creative for me but then again I have had to get up two days in a row now early to watch hockey in England….I’m still not sure why they did that.


09/30/07 at 2:51 pm

there was something poetic about the buns, wasn’t there? your glistening sticky buns certainly look sonnet-worthy!


09/30/07 at 2:59 pm

My hat off for your charm, dear Ivonne!


09/30/07 at 3:07 pm

Incredible!
Eatable!
Nope, I can’t do it.
You and your buns are incredible!
That is excellent!


09/30/07 at 3:25 pm

Roses are red.
Sticky buns are great!
I’m not a poet either,
But I like what you ate!

Hehe okay, that was horrid poetry from me, but I still love how your buns turned out, especially with a fuzzy head!


09/30/07 at 3:50 pm

Brilliant post! And the buns look beautiful as well. Which took longer, the buns or the poem? Bravo to you for baking with day after fog head!


09/30/07 at 3:55 pm

Well, all the good poetry has been done (I had a limerick started, before I read the comments), so all that’s left to say is WOW! Beautiful buns and a poem that made me giggle — all that’s missing is a cup of hot coffee. Sounds like the wedding was a doozie!


09/30/07 at 4:47 pm

both look great especially the topping for the sticky buns!


09/30/07 at 5:05 pm

HAR! You MUST bake & blog hung over more often!!

Drop dead gorgeous buns ya got there, ma’am.. you sexy, sexy thing you. *rowr* *hiss* *rowr*

Terrific post, Sis! I thoroughly enjoyed reading that.. talk about making me giggle when I didn’t think giggling was going to be possible tonight. =)

Love yous!
xoxo


09/30/07 at 5:23 pm

How fun was to read your post…
They look dellicious..


09/30/07 at 5:42 pm

yum! Your pictures look amazing!


09/30/07 at 6:11 pm

She’s a poet and we didn’t even know it!
Lovely post Ivonne and such lovely looking buns! And all this done on a hangover the morning after a wedding? I’d have just stayed in bed!


09/30/07 at 6:12 pm

Great post! And the response comments! I can’t think like that at the moment…but I am so very impressed! Great job on the buns!


09/30/07 at 6:26 pm

I bow my head in shame
At not playing the poem game
With even close to equal talent
As I needed not include any content


09/30/07 at 6:29 pm

Wow. See what a boost to the brain, cinnamon sugar can give you! ;)


09/30/07 at 6:33 pm

You’re a great baker and a great poet too Ivonne!!


09/30/07 at 7:46 pm

wow, that´s some impressive poetry-making no matter what you say, Ivonne! The pleasure was definitely all mine, my hips might think otherwise, but I have quit listening to them. Oh and yes, I´ll say it, your buns do look lovely! (yes, i know, but i can talk about buns all day now without blushing).


09/30/07 at 8:59 pm

Oh Ivonne! A baker and a poet! You are trully one talented cream puff :) Your ode to buns definitely put a smile on my face today :)

Anne

09/30/07 at 9:54 pm

what a great post! i couldn’t help but smile while reading the poem…excellent photos and the buns looks super delicious :)


09/30/07 at 11:07 pm

I am no poet,
But your buns do it,
Covered in sticky cream,
They are such a dream.

I tried ;-)


09/30/07 at 11:22 pm

Oh your poem is great. As good looing buns can melt wood, the DBs have turned half the amazon into a puddle this weekend :-}


10/1/07 at 12:05 am

You’re amazing, Ivonne. I had barely enough time to bake and write up the post, and then there’s you writing lovely odes instead!!!


10/1/07 at 12:38 am

To Iyvonne I propose a toast
From coast to coast
She loves buns the most
They went into the oven to roast (artistic licence here =) )
Then wrote a superlative post!


10/1/07 at 12:42 am

Ivonne, you never cease to amaze me. Last minute buns. Captivating photographs. And poetry.

I. am. not. worthy.


10/1/07 at 1:56 am

won’t even attempt to make this rhyme: but your creation sounds wonderful - the soaked cherries are perfect if you want to keep your alcohol levels going after a long night out ;-) i am surprised you could manage something sweet! at least you don’t have to worry about all the calories with all that dancing involved the night before !!


10/1/07 at 2:00 am

For the DB challenge, Ivonne took part
With her beautiful words, she stole my heart
Not to forget the buns, so yummy
That are just begging to go in my tummy!


10/1/07 at 2:28 am

Ivonne, il tuo racconto in versi e’ troppo simpatico e le foto sono incredibili!


10/1/07 at 3:25 am

And whilst hungover! Wow. Gorgeous poem and photos.


10/1/07 at 3:41 am

If this is how you compose poetry under the aftereffects of a big fat wedding I don’t dare to think of what you would produce in a normal state! Brilliant Ivonne!


10/1/07 at 5:14 am

Absolutely beautiful, Ivonne! And I loved the rhyming :-)


10/1/07 at 5:14 am

You wrote a poem! Wow, and the result is definitely lyrical.Beautiful buns, Ivonne!


10/1/07 at 6:15 am

That’s a great and unusual way of presenting a recipe! Your poem is really good and the buns look magnificent!

Cheers,

Rosa


10/1/07 at 7:14 am

Moo!
Gorgeous, as usual. Loved the entry in verse. One of my very favorites. You and the Daring Bakers are truly an inspiration.


10/1/07 at 8:01 am

Ivonne,
Lovely, lovely Ivonne,
How do I love thy posts- let me count the ways…

Maria

10/1/07 at 8:16 am

Great post…it made me smile and drool! Your buns look great:)


10/1/07 at 8:37 am

I need something sweet !! NOW!! After looking at all you wonderful Daring Bakers!!!!!


10/1/07 at 8:58 am

Too adorable Ivonne! I bow to your baking and writing talents!


10/1/07 at 9:19 am

You’re amazing! This is so cute and very fitting for such wonderful buns!


10/1/07 at 10:13 am

Delicious! I’m going to have to make the sticky buns! :)


10/1/07 at 10:56 am

Is there nothing that the Cream Puff cannot do?
An amazing pastry chef, true and true.
From pretzels and croissants to crepes and buns.
She and Lis created a baking revolution.


10/1/07 at 11:16 am

Ivonne, you win this month’s prize for best post! Not to mention, I’m sending this in to the Poetry Journal!!! Great job as usual.

I can’t thank you and Lisa enough for creating this group and then asking me to join. The DBers are one the best things going on the web and you two are to be heartily congratulated.


10/1/07 at 12:07 pm

Lol! Loved the poem (especially the moo part :D) and the buns look great!


10/1/07 at 12:25 pm

Ha! Nice work Ivonne. The sticky buns look particularly drool inducing.


10/1/07 at 12:25 pm

Be stil my fluttering heart.
full stop and then start
again, wooed by bunsy creations and poetry
baked goodness as far as I can see
can’t wait, I envy thee

Yes. Moooo!


10/1/07 at 2:14 pm

Ok, I’m not even going to try to rhyme, but this was the most creative post!! You should become the rhyming baker - you could probably make money off of it!! Great buns!


10/1/07 at 2:37 pm

Ivonne is a puff full of cream
who’s also a poet, it would seem
She tackled the bun
she gave us some fun
aren’t we all glad that she’s on our team?


10/1/07 at 5:33 pm

Mouth watering photos AND a post in rhyme? Woman you are beyond talented!


10/1/07 at 6:43 pm

delightfully entertaining! if I knew of a competition for best post i’d nominate you for sure! …think I’ll go back and read it again!


10/2/07 at 5:00 am

Wow Ivonne! Those look and sound incredible! And hey! You’re a Poet and Don’t Know It! LOL!
(That is my only sad bit of poetry!)
Great great job. They really sound amazing!


10/2/07 at 10:47 am

Tremendous poem! And fabulous cinnamon rolls…they are always a favorite…but especially when they are homemade.


10/2/07 at 11:26 am

These look wonderful Ivonne!


10/2/07 at 11:38 am

They look so so scrummy


10/2/07 at 12:06 pm

Ok, Ivonne, I think you win the prize for most effort put into a post EVER!!! That was absolutely hilarious, and the buns look unbelievable. Congratulations!


10/2/07 at 6:10 pm

Ivonne, this is BRILLIANT!!! oh my goodness between your clever ode, and your incredibly decadent cinnamon and sticky buns, you are truly a genius :0)


10/2/07 at 6:32 pm

“Cream Puff likes booze” . . . brilliant. I don’t care what you say, you should write all future posts in rhyme.


10/2/07 at 7:01 pm

Beautifuul! I love the picture of the rising rolls nestled together in the pan.


10/3/07 at 5:14 am

Great post! When I was a little girl my Dad would make cinnamon buns from scratch for us. Nice memories.


10/3/07 at 6:21 am

i could die right now.


10/3/07 at 8:25 am

What an awesome post
from such a gracious host,
so which of these was harder
to summon from your larder–
the pristine, glist’ning bun,
or the words to make it fun?


10/3/07 at 10:25 am

Oh Ivonne! What an adorable poem! And what gorgeous looking cinnamon buns! I want some RIGHT now you poet you.

AmyD

10/3/07 at 1:37 pm

“For the sticky buns she decided that walnuts and dried cherries she’d use,
And she even soaked her cherries in Kirsch because Cream Puff likes booze”

ok, that phrase just made me laugh, so I had to comment.
I am also thinking I will go over to the other blog for the recipe!


10/3/07 at 6:53 pm

oh my! those are the kind of cinnamon rolls that make me forget i’m allergic to cinnamon…those look so yummy!

:) D


10/4/07 at 5:10 pm

I am quite impressed with your poetry, my dear Ivonne! And as always, your photos make me drool. Just lovely!


10/4/07 at 8:43 pm

A most original and poetic post. The photos are just spectacular, as always.


10/5/07 at 6:09 am

As Ellen Degeneres said “Who needs buns of steel, I’d be happy with buns of cinnamon.”

Great buns, great puns.


10/5/07 at 10:24 am

I don’t know what else I can add that hasn’t been said already - I love your buns! You’re truly an inspiration!


10/6/07 at 8:50 am

To the great poet baker, you are an ispiration to us all, I love your buns!!


10/11/07 at 1:59 pm

How ever could I have missed this great poetic post :)…but honestly, the buns look awesome .
