apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

*blush* I'm glad I'm not the only one willing to eat cake for breakfast. Sometimes, it's just what works! ;)

Sometimes I will make a cake just so I can eat it for breakfast!

Although I would never admit that.

but I would eat pie!

Not just cake, any dessert! It's really not much worse than buying a blueberry muffin at the coffee shop.

I love cake for breakfast, and flan, and rice pudding or tapioca. It's weird how many people give me a hard time about that but have no problem with donuts or sugar cereals for breakfast (for themselves or their kids). I bet that the things I eat are *at least* as healthful as some of the cereals out there today.

Yup, pie. It's a family tradition. If there was pie for dessert at supper, it was also usually available for breakfast the next morning.

And it's that old definition of a Yankee:

To a Southerner, a Yankee is anyone from the North.
To a Northerner, a Yankee is anyone from New England.
To a New Englander, a Yankee is anyone from Maine (I think).
To a Mainer, a Yankee is anyone who eats pie for breakfast.

I will eat cake for breakfast, but when I have dessert for breakfast I prefer the classic coffee and a piece of pie.

Strangely, I will eat any official coffee cake, streusel, danish, or cinnamon bun without blinking for breakfast, but the thought of a frosted cake makes me pause for just a second there. Don't worry, I get over it.

Growing up, my mom always gave us sweets for breakfast: leftover birthday cake, pie, rice krispie treats, cookies.. as long as we were eating breakfast :)

Of course, my diet has matured and while I prefer healthy cereals for breakfast, I still wouldn't turn down a plate of leftover birthday for breakfast.

while i'm not a sweets-in-the-morning girl, i do LOVE that bit by bill cosby - hysterical!

To this day I love stale cake, because my parents used to bring home a piece of cake for me from weddings and parties, and I got to eat it for breakfast the next morning.

i couldn't have cake for breakfast often, but the day after a birthday, it's a nice way to start off your new year.

pie or cobbler, on the other hand, i could probably eat daily. :)

Glad to see that 7 to 1 they're eating cake for breakfast. I thought I was some kind of a freak or something with my sweet tooth. However, [sniff], I'm finding that my tolerance for sugar is decreasing as I age.

Now, pie is another thing altogether. I sometimes bake a pie especially for breakfast.

I have no problem with cake for breakfast, except for some reason I can't bring myself to do chocolate cake for breakfast (and since I usually make chocolate cake I don't eat cake much for breakfast). I find carrot cake with cream cheese frosting to be perfect for breakfast.

Cake, no, but I love having pie for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving. I don't usually like sweet things for breakfast, unless it is a little fruit in plain (Greek) yogurt.

Oh yum... pie or cake with a big cup of coffee. Can't let it go to waste!
