Fox in the Snow opened in Italian Village at 1031 North Fourth Street in 2014 by Lauren Culley and Jeff Excell, with the giant laminated cinnamon roll as the morning anchor. The German Village shop at 210 Thurman Avenue followed in January 2018, with Clintonville added later. The recipe combines a brioche dough with a layer of cold butter and cinnamon sugar, hand-laminated through multiple folds.
