1 envelopes active dry yeast 

1⁄2 tablespoon white sugar 

1⁄4 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)

2 (4 ounce) packages cream cheese , softened (16 ounces total)

 1⁄2 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla 

Colored Frosting

1 1⁄2 cups powdered sugar

1 1⁄2 tablespoons butter , melted 

1 1⁄2 tablespoons milk 

1⁄8; teaspoon vanilla extract 

Food coloring

Colored sugars

I didn’t use colored sugars but they are really easy to make...Rory just woke up too early!

3⁄4 cup white sugar 

Food coloring

Directions: Cook first 5 ingredients in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until butter melts.

Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes or until foamy.  

Add butter mixture, egg, and 2 cups flour; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes or until smooth.

 Gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes; Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top; Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.   

While the cake is rising, with an electric mixer, mix cream cheese until smooth; Add egg and blend well; Add sugar, salt and vanilla and mix until smooth and creamy; Set aside.

Punch dough down; roll out onto a lightly floured surface; roll to a 28- x 10-inch rectangle.  

Spread cream cheese mixture on dough; Roll up the dough, jellyroll fashion, starting at long side.  

Place dough roll, seam side down, on parchment paper.  Bring ends together to form an oval ring, moistening and punching edges together to seal.

Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 20 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 375 degrees for 15- 20 minutes or until golden.

Decorate with bands of Colored Frostings, and sprinkle with Colored Sugars. 

Rory did SO good with her frostings!
