Help needed with calories to be logged

I am still fairly new to MFP and am trying to log everything I eat but today find I have a smaill dilema.

This afternoon I had 4 mini cupcakes (different flavours - lemon, red velvet, marble and chocolate) which was a cake tasting for my daughter's wedding so it can be decided what flavour to get. In any event these were homemade and had buttercream icing. I don't know how many calories were in each. The lady who made them said 4 minis equals 1 regular cupcake. Anyone have any idea how to log this? All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks so much

    Try looking up the individual components? Like, just a red velvet cupcake? And then if 4 minis make a whole, like, a quarter of one?

    When I was on Weight Watchers I was told that one bite is one points value or about 50 calories. Better to estimate than to leave blank. Hope this helps.

    I would take the one with the most calories and log it.. better to be over than under.
