It’s time to give the people what they want.

Cinnabon announced that starting today, its popular frosting will be available to purchase by the pint. In a post on Twitter, the company wrote, “Like our frosting? You’ll LOVE our NEW limited-edition Signature Frosting Pint! Available starting TODAY in our bakeries and with delivery.”
In a press release, Karyn Sarago, chief marketing officer for Cinnabon, suggested that the offering came in response to increased interest in baking amid the pandemic.
“More so this year and especially during the holidays, cooking at home and enjoying meals together are central to how families are spending their time," said Sarago. "Cinnabon fans know our signature frosting makes our classic cinnamon rolls and holiday favorite PecanBon cinnamon roll oh-so-craveable – and now fans can bring that same frosting home as the perfect accompaniment to holiday cooking, baking and holiday movie watching, to enhance the simple pleasures, smells, tastes and homemade love that make this time of year so special.”
