Take the Cake
Hellooooooo 😀 How are you?? So glad you guys liked the Pilot’s guest post– I absolutely loved it. I’m a little (ok a LOT) jealous over all of the amazing food he’s been eating (lobster? bruschetta? gelato? wiiiiiinnnneeeee?) but am glad he’s had some time to chill before he goes over to do extremely hard and tedious work for a while <3
So right now, I’m awake and it’s still DARK outside. And I’m not grouchy! Amazing 🙂 (haha, not a big morning fan over here)
Maybe because I had breakfast waiting to greet me?
This was like a pumpkin breakfast cookie minus the nut butter, which I never recommend but since my grocery stash is low, you gotta do what you gotta do 🙂
I packed up the bento box using the supplies I had, and decided to get a Panera black bean soup on the way to work to make it a full meal.
Arugula and spinach with Garlic Gold and balsamic, raw pizza crackers, ginger chews
and kamut bread for soup-dipping (in the freezer section at Whole Foods- it tastes a lot like sourdough):
It’s kinda nice not having that peanut butter chocolate cake staring at me this morning.
When I got home from work late last night, there was still a little bit left….
so we had a love waltz in the kitchen.
Sometimes you have to take the cake 😀
Since so many of ya’ll asked for the recipe… I’ll go ahead and give it to ya. It’s top secret though, mmm k?
-Take a box of gluten-free vegan cake mix
-Follow directions on said box
-Let cake cool and make *this frosting* using milk of choice instead of heavy cream and Earth Balance instead of butter
Alright friends, I’m off to work!! Really excited for a fun blog buddy training appointment tonight 🙂
See ya later today with a Reader’s Request post!
xoxo,
Gina

Thanks for sharing the recipe. 😛 Your breakfast looks lovely! Hope you have a great day at work. 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe!! Looks droolworthy 😉 Have a great day at work!
I *love* the cake recipe — something I could actually make 🙂
And that cake never would have lasted that long in my house!
I love the sweatshirt you are wearing! is it adidas by stella mccartney (just a guess). hahaha love your top secret recipe 😛 Yum pizza crackers sound good, need to make some.
That shirt is so cute! Where is it from?
I agree with Jessica! Way cute!
haha I laughed at your simple recipe! Sometimes simplicity is truly the best!!!
We promise not to tell anyone about the secret recipe. Lips. Are. Sealed.
Also, that sweater is adorable.
Knowing that I have a yummy breakfast waiting always helps me to get up in a good mood too 🙂
It’s almost impossible to avoid that last little bit, huh? It’s like the last chance. LOL
Love the secret recipe….if that were in my kitchen it would be dangerous, you are correct…”sometimes you just gotta take the cake” 🙂
lol nice recipe, love it!
Awesome recipe!
LOVE THAT SWEATSHIRT – I think I need it. please please please share where it’s from.
Where is that hoodie from?! I love it!
Wow, this all looks soooo good. I really want the recipe for that CAKE!! PLEASEE!! P.S. I hope some constructive criticism on photography is ok (I’m really just trying to be helpful!) I think I remember that you got the Canon rebel…if you change the white balance to tungston light instead of daylight, your pictures at the end won’t be so orange…or you can do it in post editing. Or not! Its not a big deal, just thought I’d give you a tip in case you didn’t know 🙂 Great blog as usual!

Thanks for sharing that top secret recipe 😉 That cake looked amazing!
I am SO not a morning person either. Maybe if I had a job I loved, it would be easier, but right now getting up before the sun is torture.
So THAT’S how you wear that sweater!! Haha I’ve had it for months and have had no idea! I love Lulu and you make it look super cute 🙂
Thanks for the cake recipe! I have been drooling over the pics for days now! Have a great day! xx
I also love that sweatshirt – very Jennifer Beals in Flashdance! (I’m showing my age, aren’t I? Oh well!)
Panera is usually my go-to place for take-out lunch. So many healthy (for restaurant food) options.
haha – love the top secret directions. I promise not to tell anyone! 😉
oooh, love the top secret recipe!
love your sweatshirt too! i’m craving a big pumpkin breakfast cookie now!
Haha – I love late-night love waltzes in the kitchen with goodies. Candy corn & I have been dancing a lot lately.
Love the top secret recipe… there is no shame in using a cake mix. That’s why cake mixes were invented, to make baking easier!
love the lulu hoodie on you – that one is SO cute! looks comfy 🙂
love your secret cake recipe! 🙂 the pilots guest post was great! does he love posting? it seems like he does haha!
I hope your new job is going well for you!
Hahaha boxed mixes are totally my guilty pleasure. You get the satisfaction of baked goods without all the hard work. 😉
I love your sweater in those pictures! so cute!
There is no way a piece of leftover cake has a chance when I’m around!
Such a cute sweater you are wearing! It looks like it could potentially be Lululemon? I’ve seen similar styles in stores before. Having that outlet near you is handy hey! 🙂
Cute sweatshirt, it looks very cozy!
Cake is not safe in my house. 🙂 Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Looks delicious! I love cake. Best thing ever! =)
LOVE your new lululemon Flashback pullover! <3 <3 <3 You have officially gone over to the dark side!
So many good fall recipes out there and so little time!
Love the pics of you eating cake! In your super cute slouchy/off-the-shoulder hoodie! Love it!
I read Pilot’s post last night and thought that one day you two love birds will be over there together, holding hands, like he said. I thought that was seriously the best, sweetest thing ever 🙂
Hope you have a good training sesh and a great day!!
🙂
Mmm cake. I wish there was a birthday coming up so I’d have an excuse to make one!
Is that a Lululemon Efforless hoodie?
what a great cake recipe. Always room for cake-always. 🙂
I just love your husband’s posts, so cute!
Enjoy your day.
That bento box is pretty great. It seems larger than the others. Where did you get it? I am not a morning fan either, but once I get going I am a lot better, and coffee helps 😉
amazon 🙂
cake looks awesome, but I am more interested in the hoodie!! love it. must have it. I think you should do a reader’s request post on wear we can buy that hoodie…..just sayin… 😉
cute top – looks cozy — who makes it?
hey earth balance fans – I just noticed at WHOLEFOODS they make/sell their own brand of soy milk – anyone taste it yet? I’m a silk girl, but I havent tried this one yet
The cake sounds delectable 🙂 Almost as good as the Pilot’s gelato!! so jelly 😉
i’m pretty sure nothing sounds as good as that gelato, haha
I would love to have a love waltz with that cake. LOL! It looks great!
Help!!! Do you have any extreme tips for getting rid of love handles and saddle bags…I know you can not spot train or target weight loss but these are notorious and they refuse to budge! Everywhere else is completely normal except for these areas. Thank you!!!
weight training, cardio intervals and super clean eating
