Tips

You can take a shortcut by using puff pastry instead of making cinnamon rolls from scratch. Two boxes of puff pastry (each with two sheets) are needed for this.
When using puff pastry, cut each sheet into a 10-inch diameter circle using a plate as a guide.
Cream cheese frosting can be made by creaming butter and cream cheese, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla.
Allow the snowflake to cool for a few minutes after baking before frosting and dusting with powdered sugar.
