Recipes, ridiculous ideas and very good reasons to keep cinnamon rolls in the house.
BREAKFAST
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Bake
Turn already baked Kaylan's Kitchen cinnamon rolls into a shareable breakfast bake with golden edges, a tender egg custard and a light drizzle of icing. This is a baked French toast made with finished cinnamon rolls—not raw dough—and it is a separate recipe from our skillet Cinnamon Roll French Toast.
DESSERT
Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding
A spoonable dessert with a soft, creamy center, toasted cinnamon-roll edges and a little vanilla glaze. Already baked cinnamon rolls soak up a richer milk-and-cream custard in an 8-inch square dish. Unlike the French Toast Bake, this bread pudding uses fewer eggs, more cream and a longer soak for a gently yielding texture.
HOLIDAY
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
This is the make-ahead version of cinnamon roll French toast, built for mornings when six people are awake and nobody wants to stand at a skillet. You assemble it the night before, refrigerate it, and bake it while the coffee finishes.

BASICS
How to Reheat a Cinnamon Roll
The short answer: 25–30 seconds in the microwave with a damp paper towel, or 8 minutes at 300F wrapped in foil. Here is when to use which.
- Read it
STORAGE
How to Keep Cinnamon Rolls Fresh
Airtight container, room temperature, up to two days. Refrigeration is the most common mistake people make with a soft cinnamon roll.
- Read it
STORAGE
Can You Freeze Cinnamon Rolls?
Yes, and they freeze better than most baked goods. Wrap them individually, freeze up to three months, thaw at room temperature, then warm. Or heat straight from the freezer for about a minute, until completely warmed through.

STORAGE
How Long Do Cinnamon Rolls Last?
About two days at room temperature and three months frozen. Quality drops faster than safety does.
Local, in the literal sense
Made in Torrington.
Eaten all over Connecticut.
Everything comes out of Kaylan's Kitchen in Torrington, in the northwest corner of the state. Litchfield County picks them up first. From there they've turned up at breakfast tables, tailgates and office kitchens across Connecticut, usually because somebody drove home with a box and did not share it quietly.
If you're coming from Litchfield, Winsted, Thomaston, Harwinton, Goshen or anywhere along Route 8, you're closer than you think.
