Notes
How to freeze cinnamon rolls:
I prefer to freeze my cinnamon rolls unfrosted. That way the frosting doesn't soak in or melt off while you are warming up the frozen roll.
Wrap each roll individually and store in a freezer bag.
You can also freeze leftover frosting in a freezer bag.
Warm frozen roll in the microwave for about 30 sections.
If you don't have a microwave, thaw the frozen roll, wrap in foil and heat in a 250 degree oven until warmed through.
Thaw frozen frosting and spread on warmed cinnamon roll.
