    They look delicious! Pity I just had my birthday- Christmas is just around the corner- hooray- I will make one as a change from a Pavlova.
    (Serious desert lover if you haven't guessed) I will have to make snowballs, the drink, to go with it.

    Cheers, h.

    Oh you make them individual sized. 1 snowball per person :)

    Before I started using MFP I honestly never realized that so many people have food on their mind all of the time.

    We don't, but when we come to a website where we are counting the calories in our food it is natural for food to be at the forefront of our minds.

    And a 500 calorie piece of cake is the perfect food for someone looking to eat a nutritional low calorie diet?

    if it's carrot cake yes...with cream cheese frosting...

    but no different than pizza...

    Imagine! People who like food talking about food when the subject of food comes up! Madness.

    The rest of the internet is about cats, which I'm also cool with.

    Madness indeed, those rare times when the subject of food that people like comes up...like every day, all day :D

    Depends. Low calorie compared to what. And what is the composition of the rest of said persons diet that day/week. Context and dose dude. Context and dose. It always amazes me how some people consistently struggle with this concept.

    Yesterday is not every day. I neither think nor talk about cake every day or even most days.
    I'm not sure I've ever posted a picture of cake...except the meat cake I served my dog for his birthday...put that one on the internet (it had peanut butter for icing and he sat nicely waiting while we sang to him).

    Not directed toward you specifically, just ponderings about the cake-thinking culture in general

    This has just got me to thinking about when I last actually had a full slice of cake. I had crumble and custard last week if that counts? But actual cake? Honestly can't remember!

    I think the cake heavy chat was precipitated by someone being very evangelically against cake in the workplace. I think they were also the first ones to post pictures of cake.

    Shrug. Just a bit of fun innit.

    I can't even remember the last time I had real cake (this doesn't count protein cheesecake). I think it was maybe two Thanksgivings ago? I made a cheesecake? Maybe? My memory isn't always the best. Cake just doesn't factor into my life that much.

    Not near as much as trying to get a rise out of people using straw men by the two of you does, apparently.

    People sure love posting pictures of what they eat a few times a year.

    Where are all these cake pictures?
    But sure, I posted lots of pictures of my trip to Hawaii last year (not here) even though I don't plan on going back for several more years.
    Liking something, posting pictures of something...doesn't mean it's a regular indulgence.
    I share pictures of sweet vehicles with people but I don't buy them very often (been ten years since I last bought a vehicle).
