Wife and I ate her entire birthday cake in 2 days last month.

The Baker says cake is good for 3-5 people.

Nutrition label goes servings: 8, 800(?) cal a slice.

You: fuck it. Birthday binge.


I've been there and learned.

Cut into servings. Take out 4 servings (2 people x 2 days) freeze the rest in slices so you can space it out.

You're telling me one slice contains the energy of 1kg of fat? What kind of monstrous cake was that?!

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

not sure what kind of fatty icing sugar monstrosity you've been eating, but 8.8kcal per slice is beyond absurd and no wonder you've had to adjust your lifestyle.

My original intent was the bakers slice, 1/3 or 1/5 of a cake would be 800 but I fucked it up

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

I just threw a number in. No idea what cal should be.

400 ish i guess.

Is cake still good after freezing

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Damn straight it is. Every cake I've frozen has been fine 3 months later. I usually try and do a slice a week. Gone within 2 months.

Most cakes freeze quite well and can stay fresh-tasting from the freezer for up to a year (hence the wedding cake tradition!), though they’re usually best within three to four months of freezing.

How long does cake last in the fridge?

[–] creamlike504@jlai.lu 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Do you eat it straight from the freezer or does it have to thaw out in the fridge first?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I move it over the night before. You can just leave it out for a few hours I think

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I was a silly goose once, expecting people to show up for my birthday...so i ordered 3 cakes.

We ended up eating all 3 in 2 days with just the two of us.
