Lane’s Honeybun cake is a delicious treat!
We have a VERY SPECIAL guest blogger today – my seven year old nephew, Lane! Let me tell ya, no one has ever been prouder to be on Southern Plate than him. I had no idea that he wanted to post until my sister said a few weeks ago “Lane thinks if he makes his Honey Bun Cake and takes pictures you’ll put him on Southern Plate.” My immediate response was “Well of course, I will!” My mother helped him make this cake and she took all of the photos. She says:
Nothing thrills me more than knowing that kids read this site. I have several parents who list Southern Plate among one of the few websites they allow their children to go to and I want to let you all know that this is a great honor for me and one I do not take lightly. Southern Plate is and always will be a family friendly site and children will always be honored guests. The next generation keeps past generations alive. If you are a kid who reads Southern Plate, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
All of your kids are welcome on Southern Plate. If any of your children see this post and wants to be featured on the site, simply upload a photo of them to my Southern Plate Family page on Facebook and I’ll put them in a post as a “Featured Reader Of The Day”.

You know, I got mine on my thirtieth birthday. I was COMPLETELY surprised. Mama, Daddy, and my grandmothers all went in on it together and when I opened it up…WOW.
I keep it sitting right on my countertop – and of course it is RED!! 🙂
Did you use the dough hook for the pizza dough? That thing is a wiz when it comes to kneading bread dough.
I use mine for just about everything, usually about once a day or so. It also makes excellent mashed potatoes with the whisk:)
Christy 🙂

Oh, Lane — If I could have you come to my house to make this cake, THAT would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks a lot! I’d like to see one of your kids recipes on Southern Plate. I hope you enjoy my cake.
