Making a Cherry Cheese Ring: Need Help Understanding Directions

[Jessamary]

I'm making the cherry cheese ring for the first time (first time making any ring, actually), and I don't understand the directions for the crescent rolls. I went on to Youtube and found a video of someone making a taco ring, so I put my rolls like that, but it's not how it says in the cherry cheese ring.

Anyone have a picture or can explain it to me like I'm a caveman?

do you have the "All the Best" cookbook? It shows how to make all the different rings/braids, etc....

I got this file from the files section. It is the page from the All the Best Cookbook that shows how to make a ring and braid with pictures. Hope that helps.

When I make a ring, I put the cresent rolls on the large round stone and make it look like a sun, slightly overlapping the rolls and the points drapping over the side of the stone - then put the "stuffing" in with the scoop and take each point and pull it over the stuffing and tuck it under. Does that help?

It was probably Ann who gave this advice about rings in another thread, and I just LOVE this tidbit to use...put one triangle of the crescent rolls at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions so that you have even starting points...that way when you add the rest of the pieces it's all pretty even.

Thanks! The only thing is, in the cherry cheese ring (found on here in the files section) it has weird instructions about the last remaining 4 pieces. Any thoughts?

But thanks for the pictures, that's how I made it...and it was YUMMY!

There is a picture of the Cherry Cheese Ring in the Classics (I think) cookbook. It is an older cookbook. If no one posts a pic by tonight, I can scan it when I get home.

You could probably use the picture of the Peach Cheese Coffee Cake in All The Best (off the top of my head, I think it is the same as the Cherry - just using differnt pie filling).

The Cherry Cheese Coffee cake really isn't a ring like the other rings, so the pics of the traditional ring won't match up with the directions.

Thanks Lynda, that was SO helpful!! I was having trouble picturing them but now I really get it.

I've never attached a photo before but I found this one in the Classics Cookbook - just like someone had said. Hope I do this right. I think basically you cut those last four crescent rolls into strips and lay them across the finished product before baking.

Hope that helps,

The cherry cheese one is different, because it's like a pizza - the toppings are on top of the crust, not enclosed. It should look like a big flat donut. Then the toppings go on. And the last couple of triangles of dough should be cut to make several long, really skinny triangles. Those go on top of the toppings, as decoration. They'll end up looking like spokes on a wheel.
