it's that good.

So, I think if you haven't heard of Pinterest by now, you must be living under a rock. ;) It's everywhere. Even my friends who don't usually get into that sort of thing are "following" me and adding some really neat things to their boards!

It's no secret, I love Pinterest.

It's genius.

I love all the boards I can have and one of my favorites is my "yum." board. or my "yum bake." board.

Food.

'Nuff said. ;)

Last night, while I should have been doing something more productive like sweeping or tidying up around the house I was sitting on my rump doing some quick pinning!

Thank goodness I was, too or else I never would have found the deliciousness that is this:

Cinnamon Roll Cake!!

Gah.

I had all the ingredients to make it last night, minus the energy. So, I waited until I got home from work today and made it.

I had some help from my intrigued-by-the-mixer baby, Grayson!

It was rather easy to make and smelled so good baking!

The verdict: a winner and a keeper!

Well, according to Grayson and I anyway! ;) Nate hasn't had any yet, as he's at work right now. But, I'm pretty certain he, too will love it.

Grayson enjoyed his 2 little bites!

Here's the recipe taken from the original place: Chef in Training
