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.

    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
