Coming to Westfield Newmarket.

I’m an absolute sucker for Cinnabons and make it my mission to have one if I’m ever in the states. I will say that the mini Costco ones have been good to tie me over but nothing beats the real deal.

    Yes, primarily because of the icing. Real Cinnabons use cream cheese whereas the icing cafes use is just sugar. They also aren’t left out in the cabinet to go cold and dry throughout the day.

      Cream cheese? Unexpected.

      That’s almost entirely unlike sugar-based icing.

      Can you describe the taste difference? I’m intrigued.

        I guess it might be like the cream cheese icing commonly found on carrot cake?

        Cream cheese frosting is delicious. Can’t say I remember how the cinnabon ones taste, it’s been awhile, but I’ve made cream cheese frosting at home and it’s the best type of frosting.

        …it’s also extremely unhealthy, so maybe don’t eat it like I did when I was younger!

      Yeah the cafe ones are just sugar. Is the cream cheese icing similar to what you often find on carrot cake?

        Huh, I’ve never made that connection before, as I’m not a huge carrot cake fan, but yes it’s very similar. Would say the sugar content is way higher though.

        On a hot Cinnabon it melts and goes all gooey but once it cools down it’s still malleable unlike the really brittle sugar crystal coating on the cafe ones.
