With a promise of several more outlets over the coming months, Scotland is going to be awash in frosting from the famous American bakery chain and customers can look forward to a full selection of freshly baked Bons, including the Classic Cinnabon, ChocoBon, Caramel PecanBon, as well as the official Biscoff Bon, and Choco bon made with OREO.
