  5. Should you store the leftovers in the fridge since glaze uses milk?

    1. I never have, it's just like any cake glaze or frosting, but you certainly can.

  6. I ended up softening my butter in the micro wave and melted half of it. This is for the topping will this still work or too runny?

  7. The first time I made this cake it was amazing. The second time it all bubbled up and the cinnamon rose to the top and burned after 25 minutes in the oven. I thought I did not mix the cinnamon mixture in enough so I tried again .The third time I mixed it better and it did the same thing . Any idea what I am doing wrong.

    1. Wow! I have no idea. All your measurements were done correctly? Have you calibrated your oven temp, or used an oven thermometer to be sure your oven temp is accurate? That is the only thing I can think of to try.

  9. What a lovely idea and a great change from cinnamon rolls. Plus this recipe looks far easier than a traditional cinnamon roll so that gets my thumbs up too.

  10. Hi Mary,
    I am anxious to make this for my family! A question though. Initially you said this makes a large sheet pan, (which I thought would be a jelly roll size). Later you said a 9X13 cake pan. I want to use the correct size. Thank you.

  14. Super easy recipe, made it for a church event this morning, it turned out delicious! It was still warm from the oven. Can't wait to enjoy leftovers tomorrow. Mine did need to go more like 35-37 minutes or so, just keep an eye on it after 30, imo.
