I didn't have powdered sugar last night. I baked bread, rolls, and cinnamon rolls. I did NOT want to go to Dollar General last night. Do not do this with cinnamon roll icing. I made a sweet bechamel sauce instead. It's awful. I froze them. I'm going to scrape them off, and get some powdered sugar and make the correct icing. Sigh...I really disgust myself sometimes...

We have all had our share of mishaps. I tried to make biscuits not long ago using sourdough discard starter. The recipe on the internet lied about how tender, flaky blah blah blah. They were awful. My instincts were telling me it wasn't going to work but I wanted it to so badly, LOL!

I hope that the bechamel scrapes off easily and your powdered sugar icing fixes them!
 
You can place granulated sugar in a food processor or blender, let it whizz on high with a few pulses at the end to get homemade powdered sugar. It's not as fine as purchased 10x confectioner's sugar, but will do in a pinch, especially for something like cinnamon bun glaze.

I knew that, but wasn't thinking. I don't have a blender available. I have a coffee bean grinder, and I never thought about that last night. Dang me, I ought to take a rope and hang me.

It sounds like your problem will be solved easily enough. But wouldn't a coffee grinder make the sugar taste like coffee?
 
well, , , , sounded like a good idea at the time, eh?

have you done a 'thicker' icing? I'm trying to replicate the icing ala used on TastyKake French Apple Pies . . .
Well, ya know, I have, but I was looking for a quick fix. I want to look that up on TastyKake. Please lemme know it if you get it right.

If your grinder has spinning blades not a big deal to clean but if it's a burr grinder you'll want to clean the sugar crystals off the ridges. I could go into what happened grinding cacao beans in mine but... 😬

I believe, only at this time, that I saved them. I'll know later tonight. Poor birds, and I don't know if cinnamon is poisonous to birds, but I would have looked that up for the birds before I threw them in the trash. I made 9 cinnamon rolls. In the future, I do need to make sure they stick together better in their spirals.

I froze 6 of them last night. I have the other 3 freezing now. I took them out, and used the sink sprayer on cold water, and they rinsed right off without soaking up water or losing texture integrity. I patted them dry with paper towels and put them back in the freezer. I won't know if they lost flavor integrity until I re-frost them. But no cinnamon or butter was in the drain eddy. When I was done rinsing them, the cinnamon that baked out to the top was still there.
