In all of Sapience, far and wide, there is no single food more decadent, more perfect, more gooey, more spicy-sweet than the cinnamon roll. I once had an endless supply of THE most perfect cinnamon rolls, passed along through a series of bakers, who have unfortunately, all fallen deeply in love with their pillows. Others have attempted and unfortunately, fallen short.

To the bakers of Sapience, I present a challenge. Who among you can craft THE perfect cinnamon roll? I need to know! I am accepting entries in the form of finished pastries between now and the new year. The winner will receive a stipend of two hundred and fifty thousand gold and sole rights to my business.

Judgement will be on the following criteria:

Appearance - Color, Swirl Visibility and Definition, Even Size and Shape, Appealing Presentation

Aroma - Inviting Scent, Fresh-Baked Smell, Detectable Hints of Key Ingredients

Texture - Soft, Fluffy Interior, Slightly Crisp or Caramelized Edges, Perfectly Moist Throughout - Not Dry or Soggy, Not Undercooked or Overdone

Flavor - Balanced Cinnamon-To-Sugar Ratio, Depth of Flavor, Sweet but Not Overly Sweet

Filling Distribution - Even Spread of Cinnamon Sugar Filling, No Dry Spots or Large Clumps, Consistent from Center to Outer Edge

Icing/Frosting - Perfect Amount (Neither Too Little, nor Too Much), Complementary Flavor, Smooth Texture

Freshness - Still Soft/Slightly Warm, Not Stale or Hardened

Overall Experience - Satisfying Bite (Best Combination of Taste, Texture and Aroma), Memorable, Crave-Worthy Quality

I look forward to your submissions!

Sadly Missing Cinnamon Rolls (But Not For Long!),
