That's a tough one to answer. If you want to get it through, I'd suggest stashing it. It's really hard to say if you could get it through by openly declaring it. Logically speaking, I'd say it SHOULDN'T be a problem. Then again, you never know what type of insanity you'll run into at the checkpoint. The psuedo-cops might see it and want to confiscate it for their own personal use. If you really want to be safe, my advice would be to show up a few minutes early and enjoy the Cinnabon before entering the "sterile" area.
I've felt your frustration with some food establishments being located in the pre-screening area. It sucks having to buy food/drink and finish it before entering the pure and sacred sanctuary of the secure area.
