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.
Hopefully NZ will respond with ground troops
To protect the precious yeeees?
I love cinnamon rolls but have never had the chance to try Cinnabons. Are they that much better than what you’d find in a cafe?
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.
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!
I guess it might be like the cream cheese icing commonly found on carrot cake?
Ah! That I know. TY!
I was imagining cream cheese, like slathered on a bagel.
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.
I’ll have to make a trip to Auckland to try one some time after they open! I can’t remember the last time I was in Auckland, it may well have been 15 or 20 years ago
They’re more sugar than bread, so yes, they are delicious. I would say it’s more similar to icing covered monkey bread than a normal cinnamon roll.
