It's a petite cake - their six inch bakery cakes are really more like five inches across - and it has more calories than TWENTY SEVEN Krispy Kreme donuts!
I'm not saying OP *should* have known that the cake had so many, but blaming someone else when you eat 3/4ths of a cake (even a 6' inch cake) seems like a displacement of responsibility.
We all have those experiences where we eat something and are surprised by the calorie count, but come on! This is cake, a famously calorie-dense food. And this one is apparently covered in cream cheese frosting.
She was told it was reduced calorie. An entire container of reduced calorie cream cheese is 245 calories.
Which would make me seriously question anyone who told me an entire cake covered in cream cheese (even if it was reduced fat) was only 400 calories. It's unfortunate that OP's mother made a mistake (which seems to be what it was). But there's an element of personal responsibility here too, I think.
It's cake. If you eat almost an entire cake, you're going to be getting a lot of calories.
I believe this is what one would call the 'denial' stage of dieting, with a dash of anger
We've all been there, mine just involved french fries!
Sigh, even the stray ones in the bottom of the bag count.

Yes. They give me egg McWhatever without sliced/ground critter whenever I'm traveling with the friend who somehow must eat at Micky D's. If McMeatystuff Central will serve up without the meat, I'm sure they'll leave off the egg.
It'll confuse the new counterstaff, the makers may screw it up, don't even try to figure out ordering it via kiosk . . . but they'll do it.
I sometimes order a sausage mcmuffin. It's on their menu. I still tell them explicitly, no egg. I still check my bag before leaving the window and I still get egg about 1/4 of the time.
I just dislike eggs in general.4 -

sub round egg.

OMG! I have to rescue you.
"sub round egg" = fresh cracked egg.
Sausage McMuffin (the one that comes without the egg and is usually substantially less expensive) *SUB bacon* = egg mcmuffin without the egg and without paying for the egg you won't get.
Ann: Oatmeal is just normal oatmeal with diced apples. Vanilla cone is really not a bad little bargain -- they officially go for 230 Cal in Canada... most serves are 250 to 300. And an extra large coffee to dunk your cone in
<and you probably only drink tea!!!>

No, that'll put you in keto. 7 -

That’s the smell of my alarm clock! Okay, not really, but I live by a McDonald’s that opens about the time I have to get up for the gym. Most mornings in the summer, the smell of cooking bacon and pancakes wafts in right after my alarm goes off. It’s really not a bad way to start the day!
I now have an insane craving a mcdonalds mcgriddle thanks to this thread lol.
Love these! There used to be a honey infused equivalent at Burger King...is that still around?2 -

On the rare occasion I eat McD's I always "special order". Extra pickles, hold the mayo or no cheese. Whatever. They make it fresh and you're guaranteed it hasn't been sitting in the holding tank for however long their protocol allows.
To OP and the cake discussion - be nice to your mom. She's the only one you've got and she won't be around forever. Those of us without mothers would seriously love to have a mom bring them home a cake and calories be damned. Only a naive piece of *kitten* (your words, not mine) would blame their mom for stuffing your own cake hole, so you got something right there.10 -

Trust me, after 44 years veg, I'm good at veggie menu Tetris. For breakfast, two round eggs on the English muffin with cheese, plus the largest possible skim latte, is my best bet. Oatmeal is too little AM protein. It's easy to get veggies/fruit later in the day, although every meatatarian restaurant in the world wants to feed us veggie prople aaaallllllll the carbs. Traveling, breakfast tends to be eggy/cheesy as my best shot at protein, when traveling with committed meatatarians.
Cone + oatmeal = 11-12g protein, 460 cal **
My order = 37g protein, 520 cal **
(** appx - the McD nutrition calculator is a *baby-feline*)4 -

Ha! I was gonna starve you with EITHER cone OR oatmeal! Not both!
You could also drop an egg in the oatmeal and junk the other toppings!
Over $4 in Canada... but under 250 Cal if you dump apples and sugar packet and just go for oatmeal with egg!
Mind you skim- watch the flavouring choice- latte probably has a good bunch of protein for Cal!
Your Tetris is impressive!

Please refrain from saying such ignorant thing about your mother who cared enough to think of buying you a healthy cake. Mistakes happen, let them go. Just remember the end goal, which is family. You can walk off the calories or make it up over the rest of the week but you cannot easily get another loving mother.
Cherish the people who love you. Don't push them away by calling them stupid when the only stupidity they did was show you love.
Ya'll stay crunchy.19 -

Just coffee and milk always (skim preferred when available). Not a fan of hot candy milkshakes.1 -

Make sure you read the package, first. Pop tarts come sealed in a package of two, so most people just assume that that's a serving. Nope, the calories are based on *one* Poptart.
They’ve started to say 2 in a serving now! I was sooo excited to see that5 -

OP - it sounds like your WF cake is a calorie-for-calorie bargain... My traditional 6" cakes I make are 8,624 calories total. Light and airy, melt in your mouth like heaven on your tongue.
Wow, if I ever have a big anniversary celebration, you are definitely making the cake!
Awe, shucks. Thank you. (Yes, have made lotsa celebratory cakes.)0 -

I've never heard of birthday pie. Is it an American thing or just people adding 'birthday' to deserts? I hate pie by the way.2

OP, if everyone hasn't scared you off...just read the labels more carefully next time. And if it doesn't have a label, then google close to it and go with the highest calorie count.
Honestly, I hope it was tasty treat for you 3 -
Yup, I jumped from page 2 of this thread to page 9 in hopes of kitten gifs. #notdisappointed7

Rumor has it that two McDonalds quarter pounder patties and a cup of coffee with 12 creamers in it is the ticket to radiantly good health.20 -
