How in the world is this small a** cake 4000 calories!!??! It wasnt even dense!! It was one of those airy cakes. How!?!?!?
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."

fruit cake can be a calorie bomb for sure

all cakes have a fair quantity of fat (apart from sponge cake), as much as 1/3 of the cake ingredients will be fat such as butter or oil.5 -

Didn't see the statement where the mom tied her down and shoved cake in her mouth.
Personal responsibility.35 -
The first post in this thread was so eloquent and friendly I wanted to respond.PlasticGains wrote: »I dont see where the fat is? It's so airy and light
It contains: Milk,Eggs,Tree Nuts,Wheat,Soy, it is all fat and carbs.
Don't forget the greet tea extract.Just have an anchovy-apple cider vinegar smoothie and you'll be fine.

I bet your mom is more sweet than stupid and you’re smart and not a naive piece of sh:t, but this is an absolute tragedy.11 -
Are croissants not super light and airy? and all butter and super high cal? Light and airy has no direct association to low cal
I do agree with the others, stuff happens. vent a bit (I think it's valid to complain/vent in this case, get it off your chest) but then take a deep breath and move on. don't starve yourself the next few days either, just eat normally (as per your plan) and maybe skip any "special indulgences" for a few weeks(beyond what fits in your plan).
there will always be bad days, life happens. what is important is we don't let one (or even a few) bad days derail us completely.15 -
Exactly. As someone who has tried a lot of fat free/ sugar free baking, the lighter and airier a cake the more worried I am about the calorie content.Are croissants not super light and airy? and all butter and super high cal? Light and airy has no direct association to low cal
In my experience a healthy cake is a sad cake.30 -
My mom used to buy flaxseed cookies, b/c they were "healthy" cookies. I have a feeling OP's mom thinks "fruit" cake equates "healthy."
I just didn't eat the cookies. Problem solved.10 -

you saw the cake and didn't think to check out the box to verify the 400 cals for a whole cake far too good to be true statement before you hoovered it up....?
riiiiiight.32 -
more importantly though, check out the calorie count for ONE cheesecake brownie in this thing...

Desserts add up extremely fast. All that butter/oil and sugar, lol. Never believe nutrition information from recipes either, and whatever you think the calorie count is... double it.
Most cupcakes are like 400+ calories for something that you eat in a few bites. Keep that in mind.10 -

OP, just ask your mom to serve the cake between a couple slices of whole wheat bread, that'll solve everything. Enjoy your cake sammich!19

Over half the calories were from fat. Just learn from it and move on. BTW isn't 4K about the going rate for a cake that size?
I don't like cake but that's about what I would have thought.

Whos got time for that when there is cake and mom said its healthy lol
And she ate 3/4 of that rather large cake? Come on.
i think mom has a fantastically wicked sense of humour because there is nothing on that wholefoods website that suggests any of their cakes are 'healthy'. OPs mom just wants OP to be fat for EVER!!!!14 -

OMG One of those brownies would be my entire calorie budget for the WHOLE day (1450 without exercise)!
And OP, just take this as a lesson learned, no need to beat yourself up. Next time just double check the nutrition facts and be kinder to yourself.4 -

Healthy does not equate to low calorie. Something can be made with whole grain organic everything and still be high calorie.
Always read labels yourself.8 -

I need to see an ingredients list for this, is there even room for any flour in there or is it all just butter and cream cheese held together by sheer force of will.20 -

Held together by sheer force of will and fat. Lots of fat.

I think the better question is how one could believe an entire 6” cake could somehow be 400 calories. A cake made of broccoli maybe.25

I'm pretty sure your mom meant well in getting you the cake. She probably assumed that if it's from Whole Foods, it must be okay (halo effect, very common). But it is your responsibility to verify what your eating, before not after the fact.
Forgive her and yourself and move on. Lesson learned.27 -
