Glaze

  1. Combine the softened cream cheese and butter into a bowl and mix using an electric mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar, continue to mix until you have a frosting consistency. If the frosting is too thick, 1 tbsp of milk can be added.
  2. Add the cream cheese glaze to a piping bag and cut a triangle. Using a zigzag motion cover the top of the cake with the cream cheese glaze.
  3. Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and mix until evenly distributed. Sprinkle as much as desired over the cake. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
