Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; put the rolls in the dish. Use a sharp paring knife to cut a circle out of the top of each roll, leaving an 1/8-inch border around the edges and going down into each roll as far as possible without cutting through the bottom. Use the end of a wooden spoon handle to push the circles down into the rolls to create a large hole in the middle of each. Brush the tops of the rolls with 2 tablespoons of the cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
• Whisk together the milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, whole eggs and yolks, remaining 1 1/2 cups cream and salt in a large bowl. Reserve 1 cup of the custard and refrigerate. Pour the remaining custard in the holes in the rolls. Refrigerate until most of the custard has been absorbed, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Pour the reserved custard into the holes so it pools. Bake until the custard is cooked through and the tops of the rolls are golden brown, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
• For the berries and cream: Meanwhile, put the strawberries, blueberries and blackberries into 3 separate medium bowls. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to each bowl and stir to combine. Let sit until liquid is released and the berries are softened and glistening, about 1 hour.
• Whisk the heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Spoon the berries into the holes in the rolls, filling each hole with a different kind of berry and working in diagonal rows to create a checkerboard pattern. Serve 1 roll on each plate with a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:

• Cut cake into toast-size slices; spread 1 side with softened butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Lightly brown the buttered sides in a large skillet while preparing other sides the same way. After cooking both sides, remove toasted cake from skillet and place on a plate with about 1/3 cup melted vanilla ice cream, allowing cake to soak up the melted ice cream from the bottom.
• Peel bananas and set aside.
• In skillet over medium heat, melt 1 stick butter. Add orange juice and stir in brown sugar. Stir constantly over medium-low heat until mixture completely liquefies. Add bananas to coat, cooking for about 2 minutes. Remove bananas to grill and continue to cook until tender. Remove sauce from heat, add 2 tablespoons rum, and baste bananas with sauce while grilling. When bananas are cooked to your liking, return them to the skillet with the sauce. Slice as desired; diagonally works best.
• Stir the remainder of the ice cream into a bowl of whipped cream and add 1 tablespoon rum.
• Place a piece of cake on a dessert plate, cover with sliced grilled bananas, top with brown sugar sauce, and ladle vanilla rum sauce around the cake. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Mix milk, sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
• Tear each roll into 6 pieces. Add bread to the mixing bowl with raisins; mix gently until just moistened. Pinch bits of cream cheese over the bread mixture and fold in. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
