milk bar mondays - birthday layer cake

I have never wanted cake so bad in my life.

Not just cake. But epic, funfetti cake. Layers and layers of sprinkley cake.

In other words, heaven.

I've told you guys that I am obsessed.with.sprinkles. I also told you that I'm on this crazy diet where I don't eat gluten, dairy, or sugar.

What to do, what to do... cake just so happens to be made out of, oh, I dunno, gluten, dairy, and sugar.

Well, the last day of my 30-day Paleo challenge is conveniently on Tuesday. This is clearly the best-timed Milk Bar Mondays post everrrrr.

Can you guess what I'm eating on Wednesday? Yup! Cake for breakfast, cookies for lunch, cake for dinner, and sushi for dessert. Whaaaaaa? (Just go with it...)

But since I have this crippling weakness for funfetti, and upon smelling the gloriousness that is this cake baking in my oven, I decided that one bite would be had.

One bite.

I mean, what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't tell you how amazeballs the dessert I made actually is?! (Ummm, kindly ignore the fact that I did this last time.)

So yeah, one bite.

One unhinged jaw sized bite.

I knowwww... I probably should've set size standards for the bite.

But OMGGGGG YUMMMM! It was soooooo worth it! I know I say this a lot, but for realios, this is the best thing in the entire universe! Like, stomp your feet, dance, and punch your thigh (simultaneously, duh!) kind of amazing.  <--- the reason I have no friends.

It was everything I've ever hoped for in a cake! Just imagine the layers of funfetti cake, birthday cake crumb (which I will be eating as cereal), and perfect vanilla frosting.

All I can say is that I am thankful for whatever force kept me from shoving my face into that cake and eating my way out. Willpower FTW!

Thank you to Audra, who picked this phen-aaahhhh-menol cake for this week's Milk Bar Monday's recipe. I looooved baking & assembling the cake (super easy, bt-dubs!), and I am so happy to have this waiting for me!
