Cake pops at Disney World

I know this is a long shot, but I have scoured the internet for months with no success, and the cast members could only give me a long list of ingredients. Since we come to Disney weekly I'd love to know if I can budget these cake pops in but I have no clue how to estimate the calories in it. Does anybody have an idea? They are probably 1/3 larger than a Starbucks cake pop and the ears are full of marshmallows while the head has cake in it. Here is a link:

I'd so appreciate any guesses for a ball park range!

    If you really only want a ballpark, multiply the Starbucks times 1.33 (1 1/3) to find the cake approximation and then add on however much marshmallow it looks like. It would never fly with the "log very nibble by weight" crowd, but any pre-packaged food has a certain margin of error anyhow.

    When we were in Disney my friend logged these at 380 each. Cannot remember how he got this number but I can tell you that he still lost 3lb during our trip. So his estimation can't have been too off the wall.

    If there's a recipe on line you could add it here and get the calorie count for one which should be similar to the real deal.

    My favorite Disney treats are the peanut butter cups. Drool. If I lived nearby I'd live off them. Seriously though one cakepop won't ruin a week of good eating as long as you make a reasonable estimate for it.

    I can only say, you are so lucky to be able to go there so often.
    I have not been since my last family holiday when I was 19, which is almost 20 years ago.
    I live in the Uk so rather expensive to get there. But that place is heaven on earth for me and one of my big dreams is getting back there.

    We say that all the time, how lucky we are to live just a few miles away from Cinderella's Castle. We can see the fireworks every night from our house. It's magical!
