Do you have cake on your birthday

MrsWQLittle

Don't think of foods of any kind as something that you can't have. Just be prepared to do the work for your splurges.

I can contribute! I had one of these last night (actually halves of two different ones) and it wasn't even my birthday!

if you want to have a slice then you definitely should ! plus i believe birthday cakes are zero calories on your birthday

Sunday is my birthday and I've been debating whether I should have a piece of cake with everyone. I think...it's my bday, I deserve it. But on the otherhand are all the calories worth the 2 minutes of delicious cake? I'm thinking no.

What do you do?

Have your cake and enjoy it We never know when is going to be our last one so we should enjoy every min of our lives

It's possible to enjoy life without cake. Thinking we need sweets in order have enjoyment sounds a bit disordered.

Getting enjoyment out of sweets is disordered?

Yeah my thoughts exactly What isso bad in treating yourself from timeto time, especially on your birtday....if u think nonstop about cal and that something will make you fat you will get crazy... and we aren't here to get crazy right ?

These are for you Kruggeri - I made cakes for a living in a past life. This is why I'm now fond of pies! LOL

That's not cake. That's a watermelon.

If you're going for pie instead, might as well go for broke.

Yes! If you want cake then eat it. There is nothing wrong with having a day that you do not worry about what you eat or how much from time to time. It isn't going to make you suddenly gain weight. Go out to eat, have some cake and ice cream or pie and ice cream. I do a day every week that I don't worry about what I eat and I am still losing an average of 2lbs a week. I still log it so I am mindful of serving sizes and after dieting you will find that you are satisfied quicker. I use to eat 3 pieces of pizza and 2 bread sticks on our family pizza night. Now I find that I am full after 1 bread stick and 1 piece of pizza. So while the food may not be the best choice I actually still stay with in budget. Eat and enjoy that cake.

This thread is seriously lacking in cake pictures...

The cake I made for my son's birthday last weekend. It's a s'mores cake - graham cracker cake layers, filled with toasted marshmallow buttercream, frosted in chocolate marshmallow, edible campfire on top. A masterpiece, if I may say so myself.



And yes, I ate a piece. More than once.

That is a wonderful cake.

Saddest tres leches ever:


I'd forgotten there was fruit on top; that makes it even worse...

ETA: Good tres leches (good enough that I'll forgive them the fruit on top):

I'm happy to see that this thread has moved toward pictures of cake while I was working. Here's one of my creations:

Gingerbread with cinnamon buttercream and spun caramel topper:

OP Happy Birthday eat the cake just make sure it's delicious cake not some grocery store one with nasty icing.

Now someone needs to bring me some cake please, cause well it's gotta be someone's birthday or it's Friday that's a good reason to celebrate

I would have cake on anyone's birthday. I make it fit into my calories for the day.

No cake for me. But pie? yes! Apple pie or a berry pie. Plus ice cream.

A few of my own crappy cake pictures. They're both from a nice little panaderia near the park I go to.
I'd never try the cakes though. Tres leches does not appeal to me at all.
