Every Sunday, not for a special
occasion…on my own at about 8am. Asking for a friend… 🙃

I did exactly this. Lemon drizzle I made yesterday. With my morning coffee at 8am.
Best thing about being a grown-up.

Perfectly reasonable 🥂

Cheesecake is a good breakfast.

Just saying

Sunday is treat breakfast day in my house. I think lots of people do this on weekends. I hope you enjoy the cake! What kind of cake is it today?

LlynTegid · 15/10/2023 09:36

No should be saved for a mid morning cuppa.

I have some incredible chocolate ganache cake which I bought in a wonderful deli yesterday & I am planning on having it with besakfast today. It was a huge slice so I ate half yesterday & I'll finish it today.

YABU not to have told us what kind of cake it is.Grin

You can eat cake for breakfast every day, if you like - you are an adult, you can do whatever you want.

SnapBang · 15/10/2023 09:42

Ha ha thanks everyone!! To add some context - I don’t normally eat breakfast mon-sat. DH and I take it in turns to have a weekend morning each off to exercise. He is out on Sat morning. On a Sunday, I like to get up and go for a cycle. I’ve started going about 7.30am, cycling to this amazing cafe that opens at 8am, sitting and eating cake 😂 and coffee and then cycling back. Showered and ready to go for 9am! DH thinks it’s hysterically funny that I eat cake that early - I’m now wondering if it is odd 😂 there soften no one else at the cafe. I had a gorgeous chocolate cake this morning.

Okay okay, it’s not for a friend..

Sounds perfect. However I would just drive to the coffee shop and eat the cake. Sod cycling!

UnconventionalLife · 15/10/2023 09:48

Agreed - sod cycling! I'm lying in bed eating mine with a mug of Irish breakfast tea!

AussieManque · 15/10/2023 09:49

Cycling to a cafe for cake and coffee is perfect! Who cares if it's breakfast time. Enjoy!

<glances at mince pie wrapper>

noooooooo OP. It’s fiiiiiiiiine 😍

Createausername1970 · 15/10/2023 09:49

Good morning. I have a cup of coffee and a rather large slice of stollen in front of me.

It was supposed to be put aside for Christmas. But I thought best taste test it and if it's any good, I can buy another one.

UnconventionalLife · 15/10/2023 09:49

Also, even cake isn't getting me out of bed at 7.30am on a Sunday morning 😴 🙃

SnapBang · 15/10/2023 10:03

Ha ha thank you Mumsnet! I was going to continue in any case, but I feel validated! 😂 I’m going to read some of these to DH when he laughs at me.

I ate a trifle for breakfast once. You'll get no judgement here OP 😂

Mustreadabook · 15/10/2023 10:10

Only if it is pancake, waffles, croissants, pastries. Those are breakfast cakes. Other cakes are after breakfast cakes. Its like how you can have a bacon sandwich for breakfast, but a chicken sandwich would be wrong. Stick to the rules! Or move straight to elevenses.

He's laughing through jealousy ha ha

DarklySparkly · 15/10/2023 10:13

If there is cake in the house I have it for breakfast. Even if it’s not Sunday. So you’re ahead of me in the self control stakes 😂

CornedBeef451 · 15/10/2023 10:13

Apart from the cycling that sounds lovely!

I've just had toasted banana bread which I feel is a breakfast cake as it has oats.

MillenialAvocado · 15/10/2023 10:17

Breakfast cake is the best kind of cake 😍 and you've burned off some of the calories cycling, so win-win.

SunnieShine · 15/10/2023 10:21

Only if I can have a slice.😛 🍰

Pinktops · 15/10/2023 10:28

Clotted cream swiss roll for breakfast here yum 😄
