Birthday in 3 weeks and just coming back to MFP . Am junk food addict and need some ideas besides a cake for birthday . I don't know about anyone else but even one bite of cake will bring new meaning to having my cake and eat it too lol. I know I can put out a fruit tray but want something a little more creative . Ideas?

Go out for dessert. Have one slice of cake. Return home where there is no more cake.0

Go lighter....angel food cake with berries or peaches and whipped cream.
OR have a tiny piece of your favorite...track it and move on!0 -
What's wrong with cake? If it's too much, have a cupcake.0

Try Hawaiian sweet rolls with dyed cool whip on top, I hear good things!0

How about a mini cake, or 1 cupcake.0

It's your birthday, eat whatever you want and nothing you don't want. Cake is not a birthday requirement. I know a little boy who can't eat cake and he still enjoys his birthdays as much as anyone else.
Edited: If you are looking for something to stick a candle in, you could make mini meatloafs (ice them with mashed potatoes if you really want to get festive); egg muffins (like little omelets cooked in muffin tins); baked apples are yummy, sweet, healthy and single serving; I saw on Pinterest where someone had cut a watermelon into the shape of a cake and iced it with light Cool Whip
Just make yourself happy.0 -

Would an able food cake help? No fat!
Frozen berries (thawed) dumped over Angel Food cake is very yummy. They have lots of juice that soaks in. Very tasty.
When I went low-fat, I became a fan of the Angel Food cake.0 -
Some bakeries you can buy a single 'gourmet' cupcake. You could go for that with a single candle.0

Go out for cake- so single slice- or make/buy cup cakes.0

Have cake. Bring home no cake. Log it. Win.0

My daughter made me a "no sugar added" chocolate fudge cake with chocolate topping and it was amazing. I brought two cakes to work and the "no sugar added" one was gone way faster.
That said, Ive learned to just take "a bite" of the really rich stuff (1/2 a bite if its too rich) LOL ... Seems to work well for me.
Happy early BDay!!0 -

Ice cream or pie is a nice substitute for cake.0

It's good advice though. I haven't had cake in 2 years because I didn't want to have a whole cake to eat. I just went and had a cupcake this year. My husband wanted cake for his unfortunately and that ended up badly for me...0 -
I would get lots of different kinds of fruit, plus quality cheeses and crackers.0
