Honey Bun Cake

I think it is breakfast themed this week… ok not that this is a wholesome breakfast.. But this is a truckers breakfast!!

I remember getting honey buns as a child and they tasted soo good! Papa would get the honey buns share with me and what a treat they were. When I came across some at a quick stop I tore into that bag thinking it would taste like before.. at least a hour later I was still trying to get the waxy glaze off the roof of my mouth and trying to forget that horrible dry waste of calories I took a bite of.  

So here is my rendition of honey buns. I was gonna say something sappy about how much I wished I could have made these for Papa but I will refrain from doing so.
