Not to worry, this weight gain has been pre-approved and will be corrected at some time in the future, without a doubt.
When my eldest daughter was going to be ten she wanted to design and make her own cake (being a fan of choccywocckydoodah, cake-boss and the like) so I let her - it was a magical garden.
My youngest daughter wanted ever since then to do the same thing, to design and make her tenth birthday cake herself. And guys I have to tell you it was just as special and was a polar landscape with penguins igloos and visiting ship! As my oldest daughter (soon to be thirteen) said today, 'it looks like global warming has occurred' - indeed. There is a lot less polar ice and land mass now ;-)
There are only three of us and a whole lotta cake - we've already agreed that if some goes to waste it won't matter and we should just eat what we like of it as long as suitable - but even so, this isn't just any cake.
anyway I'm not really going wild with it, but whenever I have sugar the rest of the day's eating is that much harder to regulate, so I'm going to focus on how confident I feel that this is just a scenic diversion, destination 140lb is still going to happen eventually.

Nothing like homemade cake. What flavour was it?

Well it isn't entirely home made as we used Betty Crocker's 'Tempting chocolate cake' mix - with blueberries added to some of it (It was my idea to only add blueberries to some of it as otherwise the blueberries would have gone bad and reduced the life of the cake) , then that was layered with a cocoa butter-cream and surface frosting was vanilla butter-cream. My eldest needs dairy free, so the frosting on her share was made with coconut-almond spread instead of butter, the cake mix was dairy free) - then there's the white chocolate / syrup 'modelling chocolate' and black icing 'penguins' - it would have been nice to be able to do the whole thing from scratch but a) we wanted a delicious cake and we are not experts and b) due to other circumstances it was already going to be difficult enough to find the opportunity to make this cake, so that being slightly simpler really helped us get it done. (was the same decision last time too, so no unfairness there)

Betty Crockers cakes are very good. Better than any other packet mix. Sounds delicious anyway 😋

Sounds like memories were made in the making of the cake. You could have frozen some of it, I guess. LOL! I love your happy attitude. Now I want cake. 😋

Of course you will get to 140 pounds eventually ARB. You have been pretty consistent and you have to have some cheat times now andagain. If you enjoyed making and of course eating the cake then that's great! It makes it so much more worth the slight increase ☺
