Gayle King allowed herself to indulge in some sugary decadence for her birthday on Saturday!

The 61-year-old CBS This Morning anchor -- and best friend to Oprah Winfrey -- "fell off [the] Weight Watchers wagon" when she enjoyed an enormous, multi-tiered birthday cake.

King shared pics of the delicious-looking delicacy to Instagram on Tuesday, and it's not hard to see how a confection like that could lead someone off the healthy eating path.

"Can't celebrate birthday without THE CAKE!" King captioned the cheerful b-day pics. "Yellow w/bananas foster filling & layer of caramel .. Yep fell off @weightwatchers wagon. Back on track today!"

Considering her bestie Oprah is the new spokesperson for Weight Watchers, King better get back on track, or things might get kind of awkward.
