Notes
Baked cinnamon sticks will save on the counter for 2-3 days in an airtight container. If you plan to reheat the cinnamon sticks, it is best to serve the icing on the side rather than as a glaze. To best preserve the fresh-baked texture when reheating, wrap the sticks in foil and heat for 5-8 minutes in a preheated 350ºF oven.
