Cinnamon Roll Icing
Drizzle or spread cinnamon roll icing over all sorts of pastries and all kinds of cinnamon roll recipes, from the classic yeasty buns to red velvet cinnamon rolls. Use the icing to mark the signature shape atop hot cross buns. Spread it over French crescent rolls. Slather it on slices of a gingerbread loaf. Use it like frosting on carrot cake or pumpkin bars. Pipe it onto one of our favorite cupcake recipes. Or, add a little extra milk to drizzle it over one of these sweet scone recipes.
