"This Cinnamon Roll Layer Cake is from Lindsay Conchar's (creator of the blog, Life, Love and Sugar) new cookbook, Simply Beautiful - Homemade Cakes. It is an 8-inch three layer cake. Each layer is covered in a cinnamon glaze and completely frosted with a incredible cinnamon frosting. It's like a cinnamon roll for dessert!..."
