I’ve always loved a good cinnamon roll, and although homemade rolls are particularly good, I have no problem with frozen options. I spent most Saturdays of my childhood begging my mom to make the Pillsbury or Sister Schubert brand of refrigerated rolls.
As a frozen cinnamon roll connoisseur, I was excited to try Gaines’ take on the classic pastry.
In Magnolia Table’s pack, four rolls come in a bakeable tray sealed inside plastic wrap. I was a bit surprised by the small number of cinnamon rolls, but when I asked Magnolia Table about it, it said “a great deal of consideration” went into deciding how many of each baked good to include in its packs.
“Some decisions were guided by simple kitchen logic — like including a dozen cookies, which naturally feels right when baking at home,” Magnolia Table said. “We also relied on research and consumer insights to ensure each product offers both exceptional quality and convenience. Ultimately, every package was designed to feel intentional and familiar, much like something made in your own kitchen.”
The directions on the box instruct you to remove the rolls from the plastic wrap and then let them rest for 45 minutes to an hour before baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 23 to 25 minutes. The resting wasn’t my favorite, but I liked that you could throw the rolls into the oven in the tray.
A packet of icing was also included, but the directions didn’t specify what to do with it while the rolls rested. I left my packet on my kitchen counter.
