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”.

I didn’t even know what honeybun cake was. We don’t have it here in Canada that I know of, so when I serve your cake, Lane, they are going to be AMAZED that a young man knows how to make anything, let alone something this AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing how to make it, Lane. I think pretty soon you will have to be a regularly featured guest cook!!
Congratulations Lane! You did a wonderful job on that cake kiddo! I am going to have to make one too. I bet it smells soooooo good while it’s baking. You proved that kids can be really good bakers and cooks as well as great helpers to their Moms (and Grandmas) in the kitchen. Thanks for introducing us to Lane, Christy, he is a keeper.
