Brill Sticky Bun Smear, 21 Pounds

Brill Sticky Bun Smear delivers the rich, gooey caramel topping that makes sticky buns irresistible. This ready-to-use smear spreads directly onto baking pans or dough, eliminating the need to cook caramel from scratch.

The 21-pound bulk size is built for bakeries, diners, and foodservice operations that turn out sticky buns in volume. Brill, a trusted name in professional baking products, backs this smear with decades of formulation expertise.

Uses

Cinnamon roll glazing: Spoon over warm cinnamon rolls straight from the oven for a sticky, caramel-style finish without a separate icing step.
Bread pudding topping: Drizzle over baked bread pudding to add deep caramel flavor and a glossy, clingy coating.
Breakfast pastry filling: Layer inside Danish or pastry dough as a caramel center that melts and spreads during baking.

Preparation & Use

Stir the smear before use if any separation has occurred during storage. Spread an even layer across the bottom of a greased baking pan, then arrange dough pieces on top. As the buns bake, the smear melts and rises around the dough, coating each piece in caramel. After baking, invert the pan immediately so the caramel topping settles onto the buns. For best results, work with the smear at room temperature for easier spreading. Refrigerate after opening and use within the manufacturer’s recommended window.

Common Applications

Sticky buns are the primary application, but the smear also works as a base for caramel apple dips, a glaze for baked ham, or a quick topping for coffee cakes and monkey bread. Any recipe that calls for a layer of caramel under or over baked dough can use this smear in place of a scratch-made caramel sauce.
