    Ice cream cake

    Cupcakes and mini containers of ice cream.

    Carrot cake and disappointment
    I love carrot cake and make an awesome one, but too many calories.

    I agree with most of the folks here... I am not going to go out knowing I missed cake on my last birthday on earth! I may have cut down on my drinking and eliminated a lot of things, but on my birthday I am having a piece of store-bought cake.

    And the portion control thing is important. If you are going to have any success long-term with weight loss, you have to change your life. And if you live a life where no one ever offers you a piece of cake again? Well, that's a life that would suck. Food, no matter what it looks like, is not your enemy. Developing a relationship with food that doesn't involve fear and does involve better choices is a great relationship that will help you more in the long run.
    I was at a birthday party once since I started this, they had chocolate cake with bavarian cream filling and chocolate icing. So, I had a piece, but only ate half of it, and it didn't even bother me to look at it till they took it away.

    Reminds me of a time I was at a buffet and saw a huge bowl of chocolate pudding (yum!), so I got it and was about to eat it...

    NO! The "cooks" decided to put a whole orange in the bowl and then put chocolate pudding over it!

    Seriously, how in the heck are you supposed to eat a pudding covered orange?!?!

    How disappointing to slice into that fruity mess. That is NOT cake. NOT cake. NOT. Cake.

    And, even though fruit is better for you than a chocolate cake, it's still a lot of sugar and you have to limit the amount... There is no way my doctor would tell me to eat a giant bowl of fruit instead of a small piece of cake.

    I love all these gifs. You guys are awesome.

    Still not cake. Still not ice cream.

    Pie, but helluva try. Sounds good, but definitely not replace-my-birthday-cake good.

    I might consider this in place of cake - my homemade brownies - hot from the oven.

    Okay...I agree with my friends that this is clearly not cake. (Those not my friends can go to hell, apparently.)

    But Is that really so bad? I think it looks pretty damned good.

    Perhaps seize this opportunity to teach your kids about good eating habits and moderation rather than creating a stigma around foods?

    An stop trying to disguise other things as cake!
