    You should eat a little and then put it in a container and take it to work. I agree with the poster that said, think about what you want to look like next year. It was nice of your friend to have a party and make you a cake, but they should have spread it out over more of the guests. Since it's usually only 2 or 3 of us in the house anymore for birthdays, we have been buying the little cakes that have about 4 slices and that's it. No extra to tempt us.

    Happy Belated Birthday!

    Throw it away. Personally my self control is zero, and having it in the house wouldn't work. While true that I could eat the cake and burn it off with exercise, the simple fact remains that it would reset me on my sugar/processed food cravings. I have hard enough time not giving into those cravings at certain points in the month.

    I prefer magic tricks.

    Take cake to work.
    Put in break room.
    Watch it vanish.

    Depends on how much I liked the cake, but I'd either:

    1) Take one more piece and share the rest at work, or
    2) Share the rest at work.

    Cake is one of those things that pops up everywhere - I can't get away from it. My next chance to eat cake will come soon enough.

    If you must, Trash it. I've had to do that for someone that made us cupcakes. It's not worth the calories. They aren't going to know, but my sluggishness and tiredness and belly will know.

    I would have to throw it away or I'd end up eating it all.

    My son just had a birthday. We had cake on the day. The next morning the rest went in the trash. I don't need it and I won't do my husband or kids any favors letting them have such sweets all the time even if they can afford the weight! Think of food as fuel! I am not going to put bad fuel in my body. On special days it is fine but one special does doesn't mean a whole week of leftovers!

    The only two options are save it to eat it later and share it with your coworkers.

    I dont understand why you would throw it away when you can easily take it to work and share with other people?

    What a waste!

    It makes me truly sad to see how many people are saying to throw it away.......Unless the cake sucks there is no way to throw it away.

    Throw it out and feel the power of choosing to take care of your self and sticking to your goals. Cake for breackfast is crap. Have something good for your body instead.

    You don't need the cake. You can appreciate the gesture and still throw it.

    Geez, if you don't want the cake throw it away, your friend isn't going to come over, and smell your breath, then look in the trash. Me personally, I would just eat it, and work it into my calories.
