cinnamon buns Archives - Macarons and Mischief

As the journey of finding awesome cinnamon buns continue, I bought a six pack of mini cinnamon bus for $6.75.

I ate two for breakfast- one glazed and one not glazed! This is the glazed one:

I microwaved it for around 20 seconds so the frosting would melt and seep between the cracks of the cinnamon bun. The most outer layer of the bun was a bit dry and tough to chew, but the inside was soft and chewy. Because it’s all about the frosting to me, I wish there frosting lining the bun on the inside, rather than melting the glaze.

Once microwaved, it was delicious and I ate it by peeling/stripping the cinnamon bun.

Next was the unglazed cinnamon bun.

This one was a bit softer than the glazed bun. Naturally, this one is less sweet, but it was a tasty morsel nonetheless. (I still prefer glazed cinnamon buns!) It still had a good cinnamon flavour to it while I was unraveling the bun.

I wouldn’t say this is the best cinnamon buns ever, since I still love Cinnzeo at Metrotown.
However, Cobs Bread mini cinnamon buns are

More affordable
Their locations in Richmond = convenience
Baked fresh daily (although mine sat overnight)

And this concludes my journey of the cinnamon buns. More to come!

One of my absolute favourite pastries are cinnamon buns. I like them softy, gooey, chewy, and lathered with melted cream. When I was in Bellevue, Washington yesterday, I stopped by Cinnabon to get some treats!

My friend and I shared the “centre of the roll” – which is a cup full of the middle of the cinnamon treats. Outrageously, dangerously, delicious. I don’t care how much fat or calories is in the cup- it was way too good.

My other friend joined in our gluttony and got a mini cinna-roll. I’ve had these before and they are equally delicious.

I think I have run out of words by now to describe how much I love Cinnabon. They’re moist, filled with frosting and cinnamon flavour, and simply one of the best comfort food to me. This is on par with the only wonderful place I found in Vancouver for cinnamon buns – Cinnzeo. Everytime I go down to the states, I always grab one of these. Sometimes, I buy a pack of 9 to bring home- and they’re gone within three days!

On our way to Bellevue Square, we stopped by Denny‘s for some breakfast. I wasn’t sure which Denny’s I was eating at in Washington, but here’s some snapshots of our breakfast we had! There was some special “American Tour” menu- and they had jaw-dropingly prices. This was a “Build your own chicken wraps” dish- you get two flour tortillas with either grilled chicken or fried breaded chicken and you can choose buffalo, BBQ, or chitpole sauce.

Guess the price of this.

$4.

My friend and I each had a tortilla (grilled chicken with chitpole), and we were pretty full after this- and we each chipped in $2 + tax + tip. It was a wonderful feeling of paying little for such a heart warming meal.

The other dishes on our table were:

The Fit Slam– and that’s an egg white omlette!

The Grand Slam– oh, how my friend enjoyed her fluffy pancakes!

It was a satisfying meal prior to a long road trip full of shopping and walking!
