I'm pregnant - can I eat Cake?

aka Cream cakes, Eclairs, Tart, Cupcakes, Buns

Yes
Cakes are safe to eat, as long as they do not contain any ingredients which you should otherwise avoid or consume in moderation (e.g. rum, chocolate, cheesecake). Cakes are usually high in fat and sugar, and so should be eaten in moderation.
