What happens if you let cinnamon rolls rise too long?

Okay, so I've been experimenting with cinnamon rolls and kinda let mine rise for way too long. Like, I got distracted (thanks, TikTok) and forgot about them. What actually happens if they over-proof? Do they get super fluffy or just collapse under their own ambition? Has anyone else had this happen (｡· v ·｡) ?

If you let cinnamon rolls rise too long, they might collapse in the oven, resulting in a less aesthetically pleasing appearance. Though, they'll still taste delicious!

If you let cinnamon rolls rise too long, they may become overproofed, resulting in a dough that is too airy and weak, potentially collapsing during baking, leading to a dense and less flavorful final product.

Yea... despite their appearance, they'll still taste absolutely delicious, so all is not lost

I'm glad you mentioned that despite their appearance, the taste isn't unaffected. That's the bright side, isn't it? There's always room for a delicious treat, even if it doesn't look exactly as planned. Also, who can resist the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls? Definitely not me!
