A cold-season pick. Right for an autumn birthday, a cosy coffee spread, a holiday table.
- 01 The cinnamon coats the throat if you overshoot the amount.
- 02 The mascarpone cream slides under a still-warm sponge.

Cinnabon is the only "spiced" flavour in the collection. A warm cinnamon sponge, mascarpone cream cheese, and a thin caramel spiral deliver the effect of a Cinnabon roll turned into a cake. The taste is cosy, sweet, with a light spiced note — ideal with coffee or hot chocolate.
The selling season is October through December: autumn birthdays, Halloween, New Year’s orders. In the cold months Cinnabon reliably makes the top 5, while in summer demand drops to nearly zero. This makes it an ideal seasonal addition to your line-up — no need to stock ingredients year-round.
Cost per cake is among the lowest: cinnamon, mascarpone, and caramel are affordable. The sole challenge is precise cinnamon dosing: the difference between "cosy" and "burning throat" is a matter of grams. That precision is exactly what the PDF recipe provides.

What buyers say about this flavour
Bought it for my 16-year-old daughter, she's really into baking now. She ended up making the Cinnabon almost entirely by herself. I only helped with the caramel. Now she keeps saying she'll sell bentos to her classmates :)
