Today’s Food in Real Life submission comes from member Razor512:
Looks: “Compared to the packaging, it looks pretty close. The amount of filling looks accurate and apart from slight discoloration of some of the icing (due to it absorbing some of the oils from the pastry layer), the icing looks accurate also. Only downside for the look is that it looks smaller in real life than on the packaging (due to the perspective of the pastry shown on the wrapper as well as there being more horizontal rows of icing on the pastry).” 4.5 out of 5
Taste: “It tastes pretty good; the icing is slightly crispy while the rest of the pastry is soft. It has a good balance of flavors (where none are too overpowering compared to others).” 5 our of 5

LOL! The pastry has a Myspace angle on the packaging!
Nice review and photo Mr. Razor! Sounds like we’ve got a keeper with Cinnabon here. How much are these?
I think the icing on the packaging looks more like a circulatory system drained of blood. Could they possibly make that look any more like veins or arteries? I prefer the more drizzled look of the real thing.
Anyway the flavor review is really short. Since it doesn’t mention these being as addicting as CRACK (despite the 5 out of 5 rating), I have to assume it doesn’t taste anything like a real Cinnabon.
Oh wow. The pic looks great!
You really should heat it up a bit. It tastes better that way.
