# Cinnamon Roll Loaves This Dominique Ansel Creation Puts a Spin on Baked Cinnamon Rolls By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2015-12-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-cinnamon-roll References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2015/11/97458/cronut-cinnamon-spun-roll-dominique-ansel?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=tweet&unique_id=entry_97458) & [dominiqueanselkitchen](http://dominiqueanselkitchen.com/products-page/seasonal/cinnamon-spun-roll/) Even after inventing the Cronut, Dominique Ansel is far from being fresh out of ideas—his latest creation is a baked cinnamon roll treat with a twist. The Spun Cinnamon Roll is prepared from making the bun out of dough that's been rolled as if it were on a spool, which creates the many [flaky layers of the pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-flaky-rolls). The cinnamon roll treat is twice-baked, first after being soaked in a spiced custard, and a second time before being topped with a flavorful [apple jack frosting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crumble). The result is a small loaf that looks like it has the texture and lightness of a croissant, with the flavor that can be packed into a sweetly baked cinnamon roll. Rather than being a hybrid of two beloved treats, this one simply reinvents a breakfast classic by applying creative thinking to the way cinnamon rolls are usually prepared. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Spooled Dough:** Innovation opportunity lies in experimenting with rolled dough to create new pastry textures. - **Twice-baked Treats:** There is a potential to make all kinds of pastries that are baked not once but twice to give them unique flavor and texture. - **Creative Reinventions:** There is a scope of reinventing classic foods by applying creative thinking to their preparation and presentation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Bakeries can experiment with different dough rolling techniques and ingredients to create new and exciting pastries for customers. - **Food Service:** Restaurants can add unique twists to classic menu items to attract customers looking for new and innovative ways to enjoy their favorite foods. - **Food Retail:** Supermarkets and food retailers can offer innovative bakery products and pre-made meals using creative reinventions of classic dishes to stand out from the competition. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Influencer-Approved Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-king-of-dallas-roll.md) - [Rolled-Shaped Cinnamon Cereal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-rolls.md) - [Soft-Baked Cinnamon Roll Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-cinnamon-roll-cookies.md) - [Tangy Lemon Cinamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemonberry-crunch-roll.md) - [Brunch-Themed Cinnamon Roll Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-brunchinspired-menu.md) - [Holiday-Flavored Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweater-weather-roll.md) - [Pull-Apart Caramel Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-mini-cinnis.md) - [Banana-Topped Cinnamon Rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-business-roll.md) - [Seasonal Apple-Centric Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crumble.md)
