Good morning all!
My husband and I tried Jimmy the Baker cinnamon rolls for the first time a couple of months ago. Needless to say, we fell in love!
I went back to order another batch of them and the rolls were terrific but the frosting was different.
It had more of a runny consistency, and especially after in the microwave, you couldn’t even see the frosting anymore. The frosting from the first batch was much thicker and even after microwaving was still the same.
Also, this new frosting with these is a different taste, we don’t care for it at all, it’s way too sweet.

Has anyone else noticed a change or did we possibly get the wrong frosting with this order of rolls? Our first order, the frosting tubs were round but this time they were square, not sure if that is pertinent.

Thanks for any help Smiley Happy

I make half with thin icing, the other half with pecan sticky icing

Hi. I would contact Jimmy in a private message on facebook. He will get back to you. His cinnamon rolls are the best and why go through all the work of making them when these are just as good as homemade. Contact him. I am sure he would want to no about the icing!!!!

I ordered those before & they are pretty good. We don't eat them that often. Have not ate one in a while so I may make some.

We use our bread machine to make the dough. Makes it so much easier to make them. We prefer the cream cheese frosting. Here's the recipe.

 

Basic Sweet Dough

 

3/8 c milk

3/8 c water

1 egg

3 c flour

1 t salt

4 T butter

1/3 c sugar

2 t yeast

 

Put in machine in order of your bread machine instructions 

 

Roll out dough 15 x 9

 

Melt 3 T butter brush on dough

sprinkle with 1/3 c sugar + 3 t cinnamon mixture

we also used some chopped pecans

 

Roll dough up & cut into rolls. Makes 15

Let Rise in Oven for 30 mins. Turn oven to lowest setting to rise.

 

Bake 350° for 15 mins.

 

Cream Cheese Frosting

 

4 oz cream cheese

1/4 c butter

1/2 t vanilla

1 1/2 c confectioner's sugar

1/2 T milk (add a tad more if needed)

 

Mix until smooth

@Smc09:  Do you think the cinnamon rolls were in the microwave too long? I've seen many presentations with Jimmy the Baker and David Veneble and they recommend not heating the rolls too long in the microwave because it could compromise the consistency of the icing.

@Arley1210 Well I do agree his are good but there's nothing like a hot fresh one out of the oven.
