I love my squeeze bottle- perfect for things like this. 

Cinnamon Glaze
2 tbsp milk
1 cup confectioner sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Combine all glaze ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. If glaze is too thick to drizzle easily, add a tiny bit more milk. If glaze is too thin, add an extra tablespoon or two of sugar.
