LeBron James is a renaissance man. He’s an athlete, an actor, an occasional dancer and he bakes cakes. This particular cake that’s posted on his Instagram has a secret ingredient: Kale.

Showed these guys my secret post-training cake recipe. Secret ingredient: kale. #BringYourGame #StriveForGreatness
I have never tried kale, let alone cake made with kale. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the plant, but I’m aware that it’s supposed to make you healthier, despite it not smelling or tasting “good.” And judging from each person’s face in the above photo, you can probably guess what it tastes like. Let’s review the cake, based on their facial expressions.
1. Lebron loves it. Of course, he made the cake and he has to feel proud of himself for making kale cake that’s edible for him and him alone. (1 point)
2. Person No. 1 is also stoked, but we can’t see if he truly has cake in that plate or if he tossed it behind his back before this selfie was taken. (0.5 point for non-visible cake.)
3. Person No. 2 has visible cake, and she seems to like it just as much as LeBron. (1 point)
4. Person No. 3 is frowning. Kale cake is not for everyone, it seems. Her plate’s barely in the shot, which probably means she’s a little ashamed of being around kale cake. (0 points)
5. Person No. 4 looks miserable. Her slice of the kale cake is the second-most prominent slice featured in the photo, but her reaction is the exact opposite of LeBron’s. The kale was supposed to be a secret ingredient, but she knows. She knows. It took only one bite of that cake for her to realize something was amiss. (0 points)
Kale cake rating: 2.5/5
