You can turn your dessert into breakfast or your breakfast into dessert when you serve these Pink Donut Cakes or a Chocolate Eclair Cake. These cakes are super sized versions of smaller breakfast sweets that would be fun to serve any time of day.
Yes, I know it’s January, and you might be thinking, that having one of these incredibly fun cakes for breakfast is just nuts after enjoying one too many sweets over the holidays., but I’m sure at some point in the new year, you’ll have a great opportunity to serve one of these super sized breakfast treats.
My plan was to get these posted before Christmas, so that you could make these festive cakes to serve to your holiday guests. But, time got away from me. I just had too much to share and not enough time to get it all posted.
Then, I took a week to just chill out and relax. I didn’t get out of my pajamas for 3 days. That’s not like me. I love to work and for the past year spent practically every day doing just that. This week, however, I found that I just needed some down time. Not only was I worn out, but we haven’t seen much sun lately, and I’ve felt as grey as the sky has looked.
Having one of these Pink Donut Cakes sure would have perked me up, but I made them over a month ago.
They are so bright and cheerful. Just look at those giant sprinkles. How can these cakes not make you feel happy?
These giant treats would be so fun to serve for so many occasions. Imagine kids waking up after a slumber party to find this on the table. Cool, right? Or, think of how your co-workers would awake from their early morning haze if you brought this into work.
What this Chocolate Eclair Cake may be lacking in festivity, it makes up for in taste.
I had forgotten just how much I love pastry cream, until I made this cake. I spent my teenage years hanging out at our local donut shop eating way too many Long Johns, stuffed with pastry cream, and topped with chocolate. If this cake would have been served to me back then, I don’t think I would have shared.
Well, actually I didn’t share much of this one! I cut it into slices, froze it, and before I knew it the slices were all gone, and my husband didn’t get much.

I did enjoy my relaxation time. It was great. Sadly, the freezer is empty. Completely empty. All the treats I made over the holiday season were brought to parties. So, I better get busy making more!
I can eat dessert for breakfast every day, especially when your donut and eclair cakes look so yummy! I hope you finally get that ever elusive sunny day and I wish you a Happy New Year!
The sun was brightly shining today, which made me so happy! Having sweets for breakfast makes me happy too!
