LOVE this recipe! I have tried 2 other cinnamon roll frostings in the past and by far this is the BEST! Definitely a keeper!

I've made this recipe 10 times and every time it is perfect! I use it on monkey bread and cinnamon rolls. It tastes better than Cinnabons!

This is wonderful on my homemade cinnamon rolls. It makes a LOT of frosting, freezes well.

This has to be the best frosting I have ever had! I bought some cinnabon rolls, and used this frosting because it tastes better then the original.

I have to say that this is the best frosting for cinnamon I've found. Almost better than the original too!

I used to work at a Cinnabon. It was a few years back so I don't remember the recipie exactly but I know that they actually use fondant sugar as opposed to powdered sugar. I don't know if that is regularly available in the grocery store, but it makes the frosting a little bit thicker if you use the fondant.
