    It has fruit in it, right? Yum, flourless orange...pav....

    Best start to the day I ever had was Chocolate Bavarian cake straight out of the tin. With a spoon - it was breakfast after all.

    It is far from inappropriate. Of course the ingredients differ from recipe to recipe but generally you've at least got eggs and milk in a cake. Both very important breakfast foods. And you've got 2 food groups covered right there. The orange makes it 3 food groups. It's a totally balanced meal

    What about the nearly 2 cups of sugar?

    depends on the cake probably.
    chocolate rules apply, of course. (Any time, anywhere)

    Sugar is a carb, breads and cereals are carbs, you have bread and cereal for breakfast so sugar totally a breakfast food (ok, I might be stretching it a bit there )

    Unless you ate the whole cake, you didnt eat a whole 2 cups of sugar. Breakfast cereals are full of sugar. It's probably the same amount, so totally fine.

    Did you eat the whole cake?

    Nothing like waking up to a moist hummingbird cake that's singing out to be consumed before the kids can realise there's any left over!

    Had pizza for dinner to round off the health kick.

    I remember as a kid on New Years Day once Mum let us have custard, icecream and cake for breakfast - I still remember how awesome it was!!

    Pancakes are a perfectly acceptable breakfast food, note that the word CAKE is part of panCAKE, so basically, Cake already IS a breakfast food

    Problem Solved!

    My mums Nanna always used to make us Christmas stockings (silver cardboard, orange bag netting, the works!) and in it would be a diary, a pair of knickers (or jocks for boys), a pen and a small bag of coloured popcorn.

    Tradition was always to eat the popcorn for breakfast at 5am on Christmas day - got us nice and sugar buzzing before we woke our parents to open gifts...could never sit still at church though! :/

    No, no, no. You can't eat cake for breakfast. At breakfast time it is called a muffin, and therefore is perfectly acceptable
