These social situations can be hard to navigate. My solution would be just spread a thin layer of jam. No butter or cream. And leave some big crumbs! Washed down with lashings of tea. 

I suggest finding a way to tell your friends that, you really appreciate the love they show by sharing handmade yummies, however, you’re on a calorie-controlled diet, and will power is under pressure. There is a way of doing it without rejecting them or making them feel guilty. If they love to bake, say, and if you’re up to a challenge, can you make a version with 150 calories a portion?
