This is the final day of giveaways! The prize today is Janie’s Cakes Cinnamon Buttercream Icing. I use this amazing icing when making my Chai Apple Cider Spice Cupcakes. I can think of so many ways to use this wonderful icing. It would definitely taste great on top of cinnamon rolls. To get a jar of these amazing icing, leave me a comment telling me how you think you would use this icing if you won it. Entries will be accepted until December 11 at midnight.

I think I’d use it on sweet potato cupcakes!

Lisa December 11, 2009 at 8:25 am

I would probably top some pumpkin spice cookies… or add some to my morning oatmeal…
Oh who am I kidding? I’d just eat it right out of the jar! =)

Hannah J December 11, 2009 at 11:25 am

I’d love to say I’d use it on these amazing pumpkin w/ cinnamon chip cookies, but I have this awful feeling that it wouldn’t get farther than dipping graham crackers and chowing down. . .

Jessica @ How Sweet It Is December 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

I would use it on my pumpkin spice cupcakes!!

Debbie December 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

I would drizzle this icing in my pumpkin oatmeal! ;) Yum!!!

Gina December 11, 2009 at 12:10 pm

YUM! For some reason, I think it would go with cream cheese. Oh man, now I want a toasted bagel with some cream cheese and the frosting!
:D

Stacey December 11, 2009 at 12:26 pm

hmmm how would I use this icing….. I think it sounds delicious on homemade cinnamon rolls or sweedish tea rings… maybe make iced snickerdoodle cookies with it… yummmm

VeggieGirl December 11, 2009 at 12:31 pm

I would use the icing in a batch of my blondies.

Paige December 11, 2009 at 12:42 pm

I would use this icing blended with cream cheese to make a totally decadent plate of stuffed french toast! Oooh La La!!!

Kerri December 11, 2009 at 12:47 pm

um, I think I would eat it directly off of a spoon….. :-)

Beth H. December 11, 2009 at 1:10 pm

I think I would use it in my morning oatmeal on the weekends for a special treat:)

Lauren December 11, 2009 at 1:19 pm

Carol December 11, 2009 at 1:52 pm

I would make nothing, I would just eat it from the jar..is that wrong???

tammy brodbeck December 11, 2009 at 1:56 pm

I would LOVE it on warm applesauce bread and a spoon equally :)
Buttercream does no harm!
Thanks for the delish giveaway.

Megan December 11, 2009 at 1:59 pm

I think I’d try homemade cinnamon rolls for the first time if I had some of this. And I’d have to save a little for the pumpkin bread I’ll be making for Christmas. Mmmm!

ashley December 11, 2009 at 1:59 pm

Ooh, I’d have to experiment! I think it’d go well on pumpkin bread or pumpkin pancakes!

That stuff sounds great. I’d love to win some!

Laura December 11, 2009 at 2:10 pm

Definitely cinnamon rolls.

Kathy S December 11, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Charleston, SC would love to try this icing! I checked Whole Foods and other local stores and they said they couldn’t order it. I would attempt your original recipe as I located the Chai Cider at Publix.

Thanks!

Marcie December 11, 2009 at 2:15 pm

OMG, Janie’s Cakes are insane, I have had their cakes and they are truly some of the best, I’ve never seen the frostings alone however…well I would like to think that I would make a big batch of oatmeal raisin cookies and then make cookie sandwiches with the frosting, but truth be told, more would end up in my mouth than between the cookies…so I’m with the last person, probably just grab a spoon (or a shovel) and just enjoy every last drop of it!

CMC December 11, 2009 at 2:20 pm

I’ve been dying to make my own cinnamon rolls – this would be perfect for ‘em!

Grace December 11, 2009 at 2:23 pm

I would spread it on waffles for breakfast :)

Marlow December 11, 2009 at 3:07 pm

This year is my first Christmas with my fiance, and I’m excited to start new traditions with him! One of the traditions I’m hoping to pull off is making gluten free cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. This icing would be AHH-mazing on that!

Lori (Finding Radiance) December 11, 2009 at 3:09 pm

I don’t know – maybe straight from the jar with a spoon??? :D

Definitely on oatmeal for sure!

Lisa December 11, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Well, if I didn’t eat it all out of the jar first, I would frost some spice cookies with it. Thanks for all the neat things you introduced on your giveaway. I will definetly be trying them.

postcollegecook December 11, 2009 at 6:25 pm

I would have to resist the urge to eat it straight from the jar… but I would probably put it on cupcakes!

Shelley December 11, 2009 at 11:21 pm

Cinnamon rolls is a good idea or maybe a filling in a cake, or over a pumpkin bundt cake. It sounds delicious!
