To keep the rolls from unrolling as they bake, press the loose end of the dough firmly into the side of the roll before shaping. You can also place the rolls so the seam faces down on the baking sheet, which helps hold everything in place as they rise and bake.
Yes. These shaped cinnamon rolls are great for transporting to a classroom or party. Just let them cool completely so the frosting sets, then place them in a single layer in a shallow container with a lid. If you need to stack them, add a sheet of parchment paper between layers to keep the decorations from smudging.
