Ever stared at a dessert so adorable you almost couldn’t eat it? (Almost being the key word, because let’s be real—we’re eating it.) That’s exactly how I feel every time I whip up a homemade Cinamoroll-inspired treat. Soft, fluffy, and shaped like Sanrio’s most lovable pup, this dessert isn’t just for kids—it’s for anyone who needs a little magic (and sugar) in their life. 🎂✨

Whether you’re throwing a kawaii-themed party or just craving something cute and sweet, this Cinamoroll recipe hits all the right notes. Let me walk you through how to make one that’s almost too cute to eat—almost. 😏


🧁 What Is a Cinamoroll Dessert Anyway?

Okay, before we dive into the frosting and fluff, let’s clear one thing up: Cinamoroll isn’t a cinnamon roll. Shocking, I know. The name might sound like something you’d grab from a bakery, but it’s actually a character from the Sanrio universe (yes, the same peeps who gave us Hello Kitty).

Cinamoroll recipe is a white puppy with chubby cheeks, floppy ears, and a cinnamon-roll-like tail. The dessert version? It’s usually a cake or roll cake made to look like him—complete with ears, rosy cheeks, and that signature smile.

So, think of this as part cake, part art project. But don’t worry—it’s way easier than it looks.


🎂 Ingredients You’ll Need (A.K.A. Your Sweet Arsenal)

Cinamoroll cake

Let’s talk goodies. Here’s what you need to bring our little cloud pup to life.

For the Sponge Cake:

  • 4 large eggs, room temp
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup cake flour, sifted
  • 2 tbsp whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

For the Whipped Cream Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

For Decoration:

  • White fondant or marshmallow fondant (for ears and facial features)
  • Food coloring gels (blue for eyes, pink for cheeks)
  • Melted chocolate or black decorating gel (for mouth and details)
  • Piping bags & toothpicks (trust me, they’ll save your sanity)

Bold Tip: Use cake flour for a lighter, fluffier texture. All-purpose flour just doesn’t give that cloud-like feel Cinamoroll deserves.


🧁 Step-By-Step: How to Make Your Cinamoroll Cake Roll

You ready to bake something almost too cute to exist? Here’s the breakdown.

Step 1: Bake the Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan (about 10×15 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and triples in volume. Yes, TRIPLES. That air is everything.
  3. Gently fold in sifted flour, milk, vanilla, and salt. Go slow—no one likes deflated batter. 😬
  4. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing it evenly.
  5. Bake for about 10–12 minutes. It should spring back when touched gently.

Step 2: Cool and Roll (Without Tears)

  • Turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
  • Peel off the parchment paper.
  • While still warm, roll the cake up gently with the towel. This helps it “remember” the shape.
  • Let it cool rolled up—trust me, skipping this part = cracked cake. 🙁

Step 3: Whip It, Whip It Good

  • Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  • Pro tip: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand for fluffier results. You’re welcome. 😎

Step 4: Fill & Re-Roll

  • Once the cake cools, unroll it gently.
  • Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the surface.
  • Re-roll the cake (without the towel, obviously) and chill it for at least an hour to set.

🎨 Time for the Fun Part: Decoration!

This is where Cinamoroll really comes to life, and where your inner cake artist gets to shine.

Sculpt the Ears and Face

  • Use white fondant to shape Cinamoroll’s long, floppy ears. They should look like little wings.
  • Pipe on blue eyes and rosy pink cheeks using gel coloring and toothpicks.
  • Use chocolate or decorating gel to draw that adorable smiley face.

Important: Stick the ears onto the sides using toothpicks or edible glue. Don’t just shove them in like a savage—we’re making cute art here, not Frankenstein.


🍓 Optional Fillings (Because Basic Is Boring)

Want to level up? Here are some fun ways to mix things up:

  • Strawberry Jam Swirl – Layer it with the whipped cream for a fruity twist.
  • Matcha Cream – Add matcha powder to the whipped cream if you’re a green tea stan.
  • Chocolate Ganache Core – Because why not make it gooey?

FYI: Adding fillings makes the roll softer, so chill it a bit longer before slicing.


👩‍🍳 Tips to Nail It First Try

Even if you’re not exactly a contestant on The Great British Bake Off, you can still totally pull this off. Here are my go-to tips:

  • Don’t overbake the cake. Dry sponge = roll disaster.
  • Roll the cake while warm. Once it cools flat, game over.
  • Use gel colors, not liquid. They’re more vibrant and won’t mess with the frosting texture.
  • Chill before decorating. Warm cake + whipped cream = sad puddle of goo.

😩 Common Mistakes (That I Definitely Didn’t Make…Except I Did)

Let’s be real. My first Cinamoroll looked more like a melted ghost. Here’s how to avoid rookie mistakes:

  • Cracked cake? You probably skipped the towel roll step or overbaked it. Don’t be me.
  • Colors bleeding into the frosting? You used liquid coloring—told you not to.
  • Lumpy whipped cream? Over-whipping is a thing. Stop at stiff peaks, not butter.

🧡 Why You’ll Fall in Love With This Cinamoroll Recipe

Aside from the sheer cuteness (which, let’s be honest, is half the point), here’s why this dessert rocks:

  • Light, fluffy, and not overly sweet
  • Customizable fillings and decorations
  • Perfect for birthdays, baby showers, or just treating yourself
  • Instagram-ready without the stress

IMO, this recipe balances fun and flavor like a pro. Plus, showing up with a Cinamoroll cake guarantees you MVP status at any gathering. Just sayin’.


📦 How to Store It (If You Can Resist Eating It All)

Let’s say you manage to have leftovers (teach me your ways)…

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: You can freeze it for up to 1 month, but don’t decorate until after thawing.
  • Pro tip: Place parchment between slices to prevent sticking.

🎉 Final Thoughts: Cutest Dessert Ever? Probably.

Cinamoroll cake

So, there you have it—your step-by-step guide to crafting the ultimate Cinamoroll cake roll. It’s fun, fluffy, photogenic, and—most importantly—freakin’ delicious.

Will your first try be perfect? Eh, maybe not. But that’s part of the fun. Even a slightly crooked Cinamoroll is still 100x cuter than your average dessert.
