Yes, but friendship is about respecting the choices made by others. if
I bake a "real" cake, he spimply won't eat it and I'll look like I
don't care that he's been strictly dieting for a whie now. I don't feel
that it';s my choice to make. I don;'t really want to bake a regular
cake only to have him feel obligated to break his diet to eat a piece.
