I remember the first time I ate this as if it were yesterday. It wasn’t at my local bakery, maybe he has this one, but it was in Canada. In the city of Toronto near a large supermarket was a bakery that made this great snack. You couldn’t really avoid it either because the smell was everywhere. It was a very big role with a fantastic glazing over it.
In America it is eaten for breakfast or dessert. In the other countries, especially the European countries, it is a snack with a cup of tea or coffee.
The cinnamon roll has different names in other countries. In the Netherlands for example it can have the name: kanelbulle or cinnamon roll. Other names are cinnamon bun, cinnamon swirl, cinnamon Danish, cinnamon snail, sweet roll, kanelsnegl, kanelbolle, skillingsboller, kanelsnurr, korvapuusti, kaneelirull, Zimtschneck, Butterkaka, bostonkakku or chelsea bunn.
