Regular readers will know how much I love iced cinnamon buns. This was a particularly large one I enjoyed last month. It was so large it took me four goes to get through it all. I started at the beginning of my day, at around 8am, with my first cup of tea; I had some more bun at lunch time as dessert; I had a little more at around 3pm with another cuppa; I had the last of it at home after dinner with my last cup of tea for the day. :)
Here’s a photo of the bun next to my ball point pen, for size comparison. Pretty big, huh? :-D

I used to have this for breakfast in Msia with a cup of latte but of course not this big. My favourite was Blueberry cinnamon bun from Cinnabon. I wish we have Cinnabon here. Somehow we can get a bigger variety of buns and bread in Msia than here in Perth. Have you heard abt the shop ‘breadstory’ (http://www.breadstory.com/) and one other competitor. When I was there, there was another type of bun that was famous and people have to queue up just to buy them Mexican bun. I’m a bread person, so I missed my buns and bread a lot. I missed my Backofen and another german type of bread shops in Bangsar and so on Too many to tell.
Hey TFP! Im a huge fan of your blog because of the yummy food photos you posted up! =) Also one of the reasons being sometimes you tell us the names of the restaurants or address and i would just go and try out! Im also a huge fan of pastries but sometimes you don’t seem to tell us where you get them. =( Thanks for sharing the good food TFP! Your blog is an everyday-must-read to me. Keep it up!Hehe..
I like cinnamon buns too but I often find them disappointing – there are lots of slightly stale ones out there… *frowns*
It certainly is generously sized, but I suspect that once I started ‘unwrapping’ it (my favourite method of eating these – peeling the coil off from the outside in!) it would soon all strangely disappear, much like the big bowl of gelato that was sitting in front of me a minute ago has now disappeared.
Hmm what do you think of the ones from Bakers delight? They are irrisistable heated up in the microwave!
whats with all yalls cinnamon rolls with the non-melted icing?
I read this post and was immediately excited, because I’ve got the day off tomorrow and I’m headed to a friend’s place to learn to bake cinnamon rolls. I hope mine turn out yums!
Wow that is huge! Looks great!
I like big buns and I cannot lie … a hah ha … Sorry. But I do!
looks awesome, but I’d have to share it
Yummo! I love a good cinnamon bun. (Cinnamon has to be one of my favourite flavours in the world!!!) When I was a kid, I used to lick all the icing off then eat the bun. :)
Not enough icing. ;-)
you do have the biggest bun ;-)
flower,
I’d love it if we had more bun shops here, with sweet and savoury buns. I especially love buns with savoury fillings, but I’d love to be able to buy durian custard-filled buns from just anywhere. I’d be in heaven.
Charles,
When I neglect to include names of places, it’s fully intentional. Usually it’s so I don’t give away too much information about where I work, for example. :) Glad to hear you enjoy the blog though!
CW,
Agreed. And sometimes it’s hard to tell whether they’re stale or not – until you bite into them, which is so disappointing.
LOL Conor,
I love to unravel them as I eat them too.
That’s the best way to enjoy them.
Amycat,
I have only had one once, but it was very nice. :-P
Jetgirl,
I don’t know! :-P See, more things I am learning from you!
dea,
How fun, baking with a friend! How did the buns turn out? :-D
Sarah,
It was huge and great and I wish I had one right here, right now!
Sarah,
LOL – I like big buns and I cannot lie EITHER! Judging by these comments, you other fellas can’t deny! Hahhahaha.
Fiona,
I did offer bun to workmates, but they declined. So it was all up to me.
Sally,
The icing is my favourite part, so I often save some of the icing to the end.
Cindy,
I agree. I like lots and lots of icing, the thicker the better.
Bryan,
Thanks, glad you noticed. ;-)
