Calories, calories, calories

When baking one of the biggest problems is we don't always know how many calories we are consuming, perhaps we like it that way, no guilt? or less guilt.
In case you would like to calculate those naughty little totals, here is a list of common ingredients and their caloric count. Add total amounts and divide by servings. If your entire recipe is 5000 calories and you cut it into 24 pieces you will have 208 cal each. All items general, brands may vary.
