There’s a Big Temptation in a Tiny Piece of Cake

While I applaud the “healthy” aspects of your Witch’s Cake (Low-Fat Cooking, Oct. 26), I must disagree with the minute portioning of a 9-inch square cake into 24 servings.

You state that each serving contains only 4 grams of fat, but who would serve a portion of cake measuring 2 1/4x1 1/2? I too am trying to cut my fat intake, but eating one thimble-sized portion is only more of a temptation to eat a few more tiny pieces.

We’re not fans of tiny low-fat servings either, but we have to disagree. Given that the Halloween cake is double-layered, the servings don’t seem stingy.
