My Most Popular Recipe

Over 10 years ago, I tested and perfected the ultimate Cinnamon Roll Icing recipe – without cream cheese. It’s luxuriously creamy and coats rolls beautifully, seeping into each crevice for the most succulent bite. It’s tasty, tried and true with over 400 5 star reviews! I can’t wait for you to try it, too!
