Your feedback
Good for you

In small amounts, cake or cupcake is not a direct source of high purines like organ meats, so it does not raise uric acid acutely.

Bad for you

High sugar content can increase insulin levels, reducing uric acid excretion. Refined carbs and added fats also contribute to weight gain, a major flare risk factor.
