Cut the log into rounds that are one inch thick, then arrange them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cinnamon swirls are puffy and golden brown, in a preheated oven

As the whirls bake, make the glaze by blending milk and powdered sugar until it becomes smooth

When the whirls are finished, cover them with the glaze while theyre still warm
