The shape of the roll resembling a snail as it is rolled into a sweet spiral. Sticky buns arrived in the U.S. during the 19th century. Most likely they arrived about the same time that German settlers brought their baking traditions to the new world in the neighborhood of Philadelphia Pennsylvania.
