Around here (Southern Midwest) it’s a status symbol. We have other local grocery stores that sell better quality and selection for a fraction of the price.2 -

OP - it sounds like your WF cake is a calorie-for-calorie bargain... My traditional 6" cakes I make are 8,624 calories total. Light and airy, melt in your mouth like heaven on your tongue.21 -

Wow, if I ever have a big anniversary celebration, you are definitely making the cake!3 -

It means I have a dirtier mind than you obviously
But we're talking about cake again now. CAKE. You pie people lost, the tribe had spoken, please surrender your weapon, you are the weakest link, please sashay away, or whatever losers on the reality show of your choice do.8 -

It's funny because it's probably one of the most calorific cake out there, lol.3 -
Everyone is acting like the poor OP should have realized the cake had that many calories. It's a petite cake - their six inch bakery cakes are really more like five inches across - and it has more calories than TWENTY SEVEN Krispy Kreme donuts!9

I'm not saying OP *should* have known that the cake had so many, but blaming someone else when you eat 3/4ths of a cake (even a 6' inch cake) seems like a displacement of responsibility.
We all have those experiences where we eat something and are surprised by the calorie count, but come on! This is cake, a famously calorie-dense food. And this one is apparently covered in cream cheese frosting.18 -

She was told it was reduced calorie. An entire container of reduced calorie cream cheese is 245 calories.9 -

How in the world is this small a** cake 4000 calories!!??! It wasnt even dense!! It was one of those airy cakes. How!?!?!?
you saw the cake and didn't think to check out the box to verify the 400 cals for a whole cake far too good to be true statement before you hoovered it up....?
riiiiiight.
There was no box.. she just said it was from whole foods
so, question to all the american pals - is wholefoods known as a low calorie health shop...?? cos all i saw in the dessert section on that website was calorie after yummy calorie of fatness....?
not really understanding how anyone can actually legit think a whole cake covered in frosting is only 400 cals?
Definitely not. Their bakery section is a delicious delicious place with lots of fat and carbs.
Yes - the pictures above make me want to visit. Haven't been to a Whole Foods in years. But just to be fair you can buy fruit/vegetables/other foods with lower caloric density - just at very high prices.0 -

My impression is it wasn't so much ignorance of the calorie density of the cake (we've all been there) as it was the attitude with which it was delivered.12 -
I love carrot cake but it makes me think of cream cheese frosting, which reminds me of the time I was on vacation in Vegas and started the day with red velvet pancakes with cream cheese topping, and ended it with a slice of red velvet cake. Good times.4

Which would make me seriously question anyone who told me an entire cake covered in cream cheese (even if it was reduced fat) was only 400 calories. It's unfortunate that OP's mother made a mistake (which seems to be what it was). But there's an element of personal responsibility here too, I think.
It's cake. If you eat almost an entire cake, you're going to be getting a lot of calories.23 -

Assuming you're not buying "fancy" produce, you can actually get some really good deals there.
Whole Foods has done a lot with their prices in the past 1-2 years, especially now that they're owned by Amazon.2 -

I believe this is what one would call the 'denial' stage of dieting, with a dash of anger

Yup. For basic organic produce and grass-fed meats, they are *far* cheaper than my local chains.

You totally can. I can't stand processed McDonald's eggs, and used to routinely get a sausage, egg, and biscuit without the egg. Or an Egg McMuffin without the egg.0 -

Yes. They give me egg McWhatever without sliced/ground critter whenever I'm traveling with the friend who somehow must eat at Micky D's. If McMeatystuff Central will serve up without the meat, I'm sure they'll leave off the egg.
It'll confuse the new counterstaff, the makers may screw it up, don't even try to figure out ordering it via kiosk . . . but they'll do it. 6 -
