Storing and Freezing Instructions:

To store: Cinnamon roll cake is best served the day it’s made. It will dry out the longer it sits, just like regular cinnamon rolls. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

To Freeze: Cover frosted cake with a double layer of aluminum foil or lid, and freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. If desired, rewarm slices in the microwave on half power.
