Notes
Cutting the log: Cut this rolled log in half, then cut each half in half. So if your log is 12″ long total, cut into (2) 6″ logs, then cut the (2) 6″ logs into (4) 3″ logs. You should have 4-3″ logs. Cut the 3″ logs in half long ways exposing the cinnamon filling. Next, roll each 3′ log into a tightly rolled jelly roll or piece with exposed filling facing the top of the muffin.
