Not a food item that would support any type of weight loss I'm afraid. 

That looks like a buttercream icing vanilla cake, Very delicious Looking!!!!-What I do i a situation like that is tried to find the closet item in fatsecret database and try to match it the best I can as far as calories...You may not have an exact estimate but a somewhat of an accurate count- ExampleNutrition Facts Serving Size 1 piece (1/10 of 1-layer, 8" or 9" dia) Amount Per Serving Calories from Fat 108 Calories 313 % Daily Values* Total Fat 11.99g 18% Saturated Fat 5.773g 29% Polyunsaturated Fat 1.603g Monounsaturated Fat 3.728g Cholesterol 63mg 21% Sodium 320mg 13% Potassium 78mg Total Carbohydrate 50.05g 17% Dietary Fiber 0.7g 3% Sugars 38.89g Protein 2.85g Vitamin A 6% Vitamin C 0% Calcium 5% Iron 4% * Percent Daily Values are based on a 2000 calorie diet.

Well, curiosity got the best of me and I tried it. I had a piece that weighed 96 grams, 37 of which was icing. I ate the cake and less than 1/4 of of the icing. I knew there was a reason I don't eat food like this. It was not at all enjoyable. Now I feel totally icky! Hubby was more than willing to eat the rest of the icing, though. 

Lol. it is quite beautiful though.  

It was. You can check out more of sister in law's creations at facebook.com/ ColorfulCreationsbyDenise or http://www. colorfulcreations.org/home (remove spaces). She's pretty talented.  

I definitely will  

I'm thinking this pc of cake with icing is 500 calories!!! 

Beautiful to look at - I think I would feel pretty icky as well if I ate any... 

In my opinion the calories in I pc of the yummy cake would be 400 to 500 calories not 110 a Kellogg's bar is 100 calories a normal pc of cake is very high in calories !!!! Just sayin!!!  

I can't imagine what a "regular" piece of this cake would contain for calories, fat, sugar.... The little bit I tried was about 250 calories! And that is probably conservative. I'll stick with my Kellogg's snacks. ☺ 

Jamaica your determination is admired!!! 

Looks delish! A chocolate chip muffin at Tim Hortons is 490 calories, so a slim piece of this cake I think would be very similar.  

If I eat something baked, which is almost never, as I cannot have sugar, gluten, and dairy. I make it from scratch and note every last ingredient, and their portion. multiply my total calories, carbs, etc.. with different portion sizes, and will cut them into the number of pieces that fall within the range that is suitable for my diet. A lot of calculations, but at least it's safe! Or as Jamaica posted, eating a pre calculated treat that you can have! 

Now that's a cake I wouldn't touch even if I wasn't on LCHF. Artificial coloring and bad layer to icing proportion. And I bet the buttercream has the same (non)flavor all over. 

Thanks Pam - it's becoming a lifestyle! I never thought of pre-calculating Little Mine, but it's a really good idea. And you are correct about the taste of the icing Dayberndt - all the same. I've had her cakes before joining FS and I couldn't get enough - especially the chocolate one. This cake, while pretty, just wasn't good.
