The day is off to a great start! We found a small bakery called the Estes Park Pie Company that makes cinnamon rolls. The shop opens at 8:30 AM and we arrived shortly after 9:00 to pick up our freshly baked treats.
However, much to our surprise, they only had two cinnamon rolls left! I explained to Vallerie how sad all of our kids would be if we went home empty handed! My sob story must have worked as Vallerie volunteered to bake up eight rolls for us if we were willing to wait.
No problemo! I asked Vallerie if there was an up-charge for hot cinnamon rolls and she assured me that the price would be the same. The recipe Vallerie uses is a family favorite, passed down from her grandmother. 50 minutes later and we were the proud owners of eight warm cinnamon rolls! It was all I could do to get them home without eating one!
They looked delicious, they were warm and they smelled incredible. The only thing left was to put Vallerie's cinnamon rolls to the Pagel "taste test!" And they didn't disappoint! Everyone agreed that they were as good as Sharon's, which is saying something! A glass of cold milk and the morning culinary treat was complete!
If you're ever in Estes Park, stop by the Estes Park Pie Company and check out their cinnamon rolls. I hear their pies and cakes aren't bad either. But stop in early or you may be disappointed.
Oh, and say "hello" to Vallerie for me. And tell her that Kim sent you!
