I wish I had advice on this, but honestly, I always end up eating cake. For me it is more a matter of convincing myself that one slice is enough.

Me too! One of my rules is that if it's someone's birthday, I get to have a piece of birthday cake. I don't care who's birthday it is. If I'm in a group of people and birthday cake is served, I'm eating a piece of it. The whole piece and the icing, not just one or two bites and then throwing it out. I'm not going to gain all 35 lbs back with one piece of birthday cake. I'll frequently allow myself dessert in other situations as well. I want to be thin, but not at the expense of eating birthday cake.
Luckily, in most of the groups I'm in, it's not really socially acceptable to have two pieces of cake, so having a second piece isn't a problem.
But we all have to make the lifestyle choices that are right for us. So if someone doesn't want to eat birthday cake, I can totally support that decision. Just because I'm eating cake doesn't mean everyone has to.
