Wake up a few minutes early and surprise your significant other with the smell of freshly baked Pillsbury cinnamon rolls this Valentine's Day. While the original Cinnabon cinnamon rolls topped with a creamy vanilla icing are always welcome, nothing says love more than pastel pink strawberries and cream icing. So what are you waiting for? Turn that alarm clock a little earlier than usual.

Along with the original variety, Pillsbury also sells limited-edition flavors like Hot Cocoa and Pumpkin Spice. The Strawberry & Cream was limited edition at one point, but it is now available year-round.
How To Make Grands Cinnamon Rolls
Heat oven according to package. Start by greasing a nonstick pan (something like a square cake pan or round cake pan works great). Remove the raw cinnamon roll dough rounds from the tin and place rolls in the pan. Bake dough until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Remove warm cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately frost with the included cream cheese icing. Serve and enjoy.
