Combine cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla or almond extract. Unroll cresent rolls and arrange like a pinwheel.  Spread mixture in middle.  Spoon cherries on top.  Pull the spokes of the pinwheel up and over to the center. Bake at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes. Make and icing out of the powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk and vanilla.  Drizzle on top.  Eat hot.

*Instead of cherries, use apples and pecans.  You may also change the shape to look like a king cake.
