Ever since I discovered these amazing Cinnabon Rolls back when I was living in Southampton, on the South coast of England, I have been desperate to have them again!
When I moved to Scotland, I was very hopeful they would have a franchise and eventually ended up writing to the company through their website.As it turned out, they didn't have one in Scotland... it took me a while to recover but eventually I started feeling better...
And then I got offered this assignment in London for a few months... and honestly, after the obvious things going through your mind like what's the job description? What will be paid for and do you think I'll be able to see the Queen, I thought of finally being able to eat a Cinnabon!
I arrived on Monday morning and left it to the Wednesday to go on my Cinnabon hunt which led me to Picadilly Circus.They now have these Chocolate Cinnabon that I had never tried before...
so I took one of those and a normal one (minis... I'm on a diet! ;-) ) and went back to the hotel.Except that, of course, I got lost (managed to find Buckingham Palace AND Downing Street but not my hotel!) and it took me quite a while to get there!
In the end, by the time I was back in my hotel room, it was cold. Any reasonable person would have waited until the following day, brought it at work and would have micro waved it... but I'm not reasonable!
I stopped for a moment and thought... what would MacGyver do? And then I spotted the two objects that would allow me to finally have a Cinnabon 6 years later... a hair dryer and a tea spoon!!
Blow drying the frosting on a Cinnabon might appear weird to most of you, but to all Cinnabon connoisseurs out there, I know you understand the despair I was in and why I had to do it!And you know what... it worked very well and this new Chocolate version is very tasty! I had the normal one this morning for breakfast and it happens that I need to go back to Picadilly Circus tonight to go see a movie... I see another very sweet breakfast in the very near future!
