All snark aside, there is an important lesson to be learned here.
Mom is not stupid, but it's not her responsibility to vet your food for you. While the mistake is an easy one to make (and even old pros still make them every so often), it points out how critical it is for you to 'do your homework' and get this information all the time.9 -

How in the world is this small a** cake 4000 calories!!??! It wasnt even dense!! It was one of those airy cakes. How!?!?!?
Why are you blaming your mother for your decision to eat 3/4 of a cake?
yes...someone needs to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions. Also, one day you will miss the day when your mom is no longer able or on this earth to actually buy you anything!10 -

Totally this. I lost my mom when I was 10, I still miss her terribly.21 -

I find more troublesome calling YOUR mom "stupid" than you eating 3/4 of the cake.
Edited to change "our" to "your.
Just because someone is your (general "your") parent doesn't somehow make them above reproach.
Unless the posted is younger than 7 she is responsible for what she puts in her mouth, including the calorie content if concerned about that, don't be blaming mommy. Also sitting down and eating 3/4 of something that has multiple servings when trying to drop weight? SMH
From the link posted:
"Luscious layers of delicate whipped almond mascarpone cream, fresh raspberry scented cake, adorned with fresh berries for a dessert that is remarkably refreshing and delightfully shareable."
I agree that she's fully responsible for what she put in her mouth, that is different than saying, "you shouldn't speak ill of your mother".2 -

Didn't see the statement where the mom tied her down and shoved cake in her mouth.
Personal responsibility.
I'll say this again because apparently you felt the need to reply twice to the same post. Saying "you should respect your mother" is different than saying "your mother didn't force you to eat this." To the same effect, saying "a parent isn't automatically a saint" is different than saying, "the OP's parent forced her to eat cake."
I know, how dare I buck the societal trend of mothers being all good (though I suppose it would be more accurate to say, how dare my mother not understand that the responsibility of having and keeping a child is nurturing them appropriately).14 -
mmmm
This thread made me hungry.
I'm tempted to make a bacon-egg sandwich for lunch with a side of cake (served either for dessert or as part of the sandwich filling.)
I'll be back soon.

Sorry you feel your mom did you wrong. There nothing in the OP to indicate the mom mistreated the poster in any way.
The discussion is about a grown *kitten* adult calling their mother stupid for telling her the wrong calorie count on something, failing to take responsibility to check for themselves and then eating 3/4 of a cake that to most people that have even looked a the calorie content of foods would know the number the mom gave was incorrect.
I stand by personal responsibility for what one puts in one's mouth.21 -
Husband and kids cleared out last night to give me the house to myself. I woke up to find this on the counter this morning and immediately thought of this thread:
So far I see polenta, red lentils, a loaf of brioche, croissants, and a variety of cheeses have magically appeared in the refrigerator.12 -

As you can see from my first post especially, I didn't indicate that the OP wasn't responsible for what they ate. Heck I was slightly boggled as to why the OP wouldn't think that the cake wouldn't have been extremely calorie dense (and if you read my first post that should have been pretty clear). In my second post I also didn't imply that the OP's mother somehow forced them to eat cake. All I said was that parents aren't somehow above reproach which was in response to someone saying that they found it more troubling that the OP called their mom stupid. Plenty of other people in the thread said similar things.
Again, the implication in my post(s) wasn't that the OP's mother somehow forced them to eat cake, rather it was addressing the idea that "I find more troublesome calling YOUR mom 'stupid' than you eating 3/4 of the cake." I mean, if it's troubling to call anyone stupid then ok, but it's clear that there are plenty of people here who were honing in on the "mother" part as well. The post that I first responded to wasn't about the OP needing to take responsibility for their actions (it least it wasn't on the face of it), it was about it being bad to speak poorly of one's parents. For what it's worth the post whose post I quoted and replied to then went on to say:
(emphasis mine) - so yeah, that's not about cake and it's not about calories.And I don't care if the OP cares about how I feel or not. I just consider it to be very disrespectful to call a mother "stupid" for whatever reason, and specially in a public forum. Good night.5 -

To be totally fair, the OP did call himself a "naive piece of sht", too. It sounds like he has deeper problems than his mommy issues.
I doubt that @PlasticGains will return to the thread to discuss that, though.9 -

Again, sorry for your issues. The OP indicated his mom delivered a cake to him and he accepted. Doesn't sound like he has issues you have. He just sounds really disrespectful. If one of my sons talked about his mom that way for no apparent reason, he'd be out of the will.12 -

1.eggs (at least 2 whole and 4 whites) - 143 + 200 = 343
2. at least 100 gms of sugar - 387 calories
3.Most cakes contain around 50-100 gms of butter ( 350-700 calories)
4. half cup milk (depending on whether it is full fat or skimmed or something else - 40-100 calories
5. self-rising flour (at least one cup) - around 600 calories.
6. dry fruits and preserved fruits and other addendum extra.
7. Icing/ Frosting (which is sugar loaded) - another 300 -900 calories (though most healthy cakes would not have icing/frosting)
8. Plus those roses on top (talking about cakes in general) have a lot of corn syrup etc. One flower itself could be 100-200 calories. Even the canned fruit has a lot of sugar syrup in it and canned fruit toppings and fillings can also massively drive up calories.
Rule of thumb no cake slice, pizza slice or burger is ever under 200 calories - never ever.
You replace butter with applesauce. That spares you quite a number of calories. Icing skipped definitely.
Your point is totally valid though.
I just finished baking cheesecake lemon bars... Online recipe says 296 cals per serving. Only... There is no way you can cut that cake in 12 to have a 296 cals serving so we are talking more like 8 servings and 450 calories.
I eat 100 fewer calories than my allowance each week day in order to have dessert on Sundays when we have family meal.5 -

I used to buy those little gold foil boxes of Godiva chocolates, four in a box. I liked that the label read, "Serving size: 4 chocolates. Servings per container: 1." Hurrah for being realistic.

Sugar + fat + flour = high calories
When I first started keeping track of calories I was stunned by the calories in certain items. Now you know, and can behave accordingly the next time.

I just have to say, not everyone has a "loving, wonderful" mother. Some are really dysfunctional and not that loving/wonderful. We don't know the OP's mother, so I think for people to say "oh be nice to her, I miss my mom, would give anything to have her back, etc, etc, maybe OP's mother isn't a fantastic mother. Maybe she is, but we don't know their relationship.13

Hmmm..... “my stupid mom brought me a cake from Whole Foods” does that sound like an ongoing dysfunctional relationship with a parent that OP is struggling with, or did it sound like an immature irrational post from someone who probably needs to be reminded about manners and respect on a regular basis?28 -
No, to me if she is saying that, I think there may be a history of frustration with her mother's behavior. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just seeing it through my filter - I have a very dysfunctional mother that says and does a lot of hurtful things to me and my sisters. She is not our friend, she doesn't want to be our friend, she is controlling and demanding. I have a wheat allergy and she constantly disregards it. She can't or doesn't want to understand that it makes me really sick if I eat something with wheat in it. She takes it personally and is really passive aggressive if I tell her I can't eat something. That's just the tip of the iceberg with her. Not everyone has a great mother.22

I'm just curious - does it change anyone's perception of the situation if I point out the OP is a guy?1

It's a bad look any time a presumed adult comes off sounding like a petulant teenager, regardless of gender.
