I'd eat more than one, but that's how I maintain my figure.ChefBeckyD said:That would mean getting 3 - because one is already carrot cake......hmmmm - what are the chances people will want more than one slice of cake?
Really, a white and a chocolate would be good so that you cover the people who prefer one over the other (for example, my mom can't stand chocolate cake).

Okay - you've talked me into it!
Plus, I can look at it this way - With 3 cakes, I'm still only paying what I would at a bakery for one cake that size!
(and getting better cake!)
