Re: Off topic.... Birthday Cake for my daughter

[Guest guest]

I use stevia. It is an all-natural herb. The powder form is crushed dried

leaves of the plant. The liquid form is often dissolved in glycerin. It

can be tricky to use at first so you may need to do a few practice runs, but

once you get used to it, it works quite well. Find it at the health food

store. It is not standardized so you must add it to taste, a drop or two at

a time. It will gradually get sweeter until you add too much, then it will

have a bitter aftertaste. When baking, add a little more than you think you

will need, as baking will take the edge off it.

You could also try one of the newer sugar alcohols, if she tolerates them.

These will also be found in a health food store. They are highly processed

and refined, and have no nutritional value, but they are all natural. The

common side effect is diarrhea. Maltitol is supposed to be the safest if

you can find it. I sometimes use stevia and then a bit of the sugar alcohol

to get it " sweet enough " for the kids.

I strongly advise against using something like Splenda or

aspartame/nutrasweet.

I'm happy to talk more with you about this privately if you like.

need to know what to do for a birthday cake. It needs to be casein,

milk, and sugar free. What sugar substitutes can I use?? I think I can

use potato milk for the milk substitute but I don't know what to use for

the sugar. Thanks everyone!!!

Hey thanks for wishing my sweet cayla a happy birthday, and thanks for

all the great ideas on cakes. I went ahead and just purchased a cookie

mix from kirkmans that is sugar free. She won't know the difference.

Thanks for the help!!!

We like almond " milk " and filbert " milk " available in HFS. Brown rice syrup or

maple syrup work as sugar substitute for some.
