You're right. It's better to just not buy it in the first place. And thanks. I've since had another anniversary and no crummy cake! Kumru — Well, I don’t throw food out too often. You’re right.

I think this is not good to throw something it trash to prevent unwanted calories. It is better not to purchase such stuff. Everyone in comments feel sorry about the cake but I feel very happy for your anniversary. I think we should always see positive side of an even or picture or whatever.

I haven't looked at it in a while. But, alas, it looks better than it tasted. brooke -- Yes, but looks can be deceiving. Wedding Plus Size -- I do the same thing with pasta. My husband and I are trying to only make single serving size amounts. Otherwise, we graze on the entire thing for two days straight. Throwing it out works just as well, especially since pasta's so inexpensive. Way to go! Julia — Me too! I haven’t looked at it in a while. But, alas, it looks better than it tasted.

My downfall is pasta, I always cook too much for dinner, but cannot leave any in the pan, otherwise I will eat it after dinner, before washing the pots. So now as soon as I have served up dinner I throw the excess pasts in the trash, a waste of food perhaps but my waistline silently thanks me! :0) Oh what a shame that the cake did not taste as good as it looked, but as you say, much better for your waistline.

Things go flappin' and floppin' over my way, too. I'm in big trouble if I do like the next cake I buy from them (a cake "to order" so I know it'll be fresh). If it's good, then we will definitely eat the whole thing :) CC — Don’t worry. Things go flappin’ and floppin’ over my way, too.

I was always happy to throw uneaten food away when full, until I had lunch with a girlfriend at the mall. I was about to throw half the lunch away when she was all like, "Think of the starving people in Africa!".<br/><br/>Now it haunts me. It haunts me to the extent that upon running like mad for the train this morning, I could feel the belly flab bounce up and down. Yah, not a nice feeling!

I'm still giving them another chance. I'll report back if/when I order another cake from them. @ JD — I would characterize the icing as “gummy” and not as sweet as I would have liked it to be.

Thanks for the shout out! We've also been through "Candy Rage," where Dave (it's always Dave, by the way, who throws this stuff out) threw away a perfectly good box of candy he'd gotten from a coworker. Cardiogirl: I DID go thru the trash, but it was buried a bit too deep, even for me. <br/><br/>That cake looks awesome. What a shame. Couldn't you have just peeled off the icing? Or was that lousy too? Woo! Thanks for the shout out!

I have just wandered into your blog and must say that I love your philosophy. Truly inspiring! I am lucky when it comes to chocolate as I do not really have a sweet tooth, but anything savoury hits me right on my achillies heal. However, I will definitely consider taking up your approach and maybe next time I am stuck up a mountain I hopefully won't feel so damned knackered!!!!<br/><br/>Your blog is great!
