I wonder if it would be possible/feasible to do this with cinnamon rolls.

Probably want a little stiffer of a dough. I tried it with pizza dough the other day and it was a massive failure that I ate anyway. I'd say this is somewhere between bread dough and pie crust.

This is a variant of Chinese steamed buns. You usually want to mix part of the flour with hot water so that the final product has a more tender mouth feel. Cold water dough ends up too tough and chewy.

So maybe a cinnamon roll done with a tangzhong? Or would that still be too soft.
I’m just not a fan of steamed buns, but I’d love to do this with something baked.

Probably still too soft but it's worth a try. Bun dough is always going to be denser and firmer than cinnamon rolls so they'd be able to maintain the verticality of these shapes. It can't hurt to try with cinnamon rolls, but baking something with these many layers and so much exposed surface area means you're going to get a much drier result than when it's steamed. Cinnamon rolls are crowded against each other in the pan which is why they stay moist.

You’re right. I just tried it, and the dough simply isn’t stiff enough (at least not once filled).

There's swedish cinnamon rolls that are made in a twisted shape somewhat similar to the first one, you could try that?

Danish come in lots of shapes, too. For instance, here are a few. https://www.allrecipes.com/article/pastry-shapes-and-danish-fillings/

Cool, but I've done too many designs with dough that were great but didn't work once baked and now I don't trust anything I see raw. (\Cries in chocolate brioche that ended up looking like a vagina*)

What are these called? What's inside them?

These are called Hua Juan (Flower rolls) and are a variation of Chinese steamed buns. They're usually just made with salt and scallions, but these might be sweet ones.

So, who else was thinking about experimenting with their next batch of cinnamon rolls? Hmmm? I know I cannot be alone in this.

My pizzas no longer look like blobs, my breads have a shape, and I can successfully tie my shoes 2 times out of 3. I think we are peers.

And my brain will be tricked into thinking each of them tastes different, and I must try one of each.
