Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To achieve the perfect swirl without leakage, chill the rolled log in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing or coiling to help the butter/sugar mixture set.

Tip 2 of 2

Applying the first layer of icing while the roll is slightly warm helps it melt into the seams, while the second layer applied after cooling provides the signature thick, bakery-style finish.
