Store-Bought, Reduced-Sugar Cake Mixes and Frosting!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Here’s a heads-up…

1.  Pillsbury’s reduced-sugar cake mix
I was just in my local supermarket and noticed that Pillsbury has both a yellow and chocolate cake mix with half the sugar of their regular cake mixes! The cake mixes contain Splenda.

2.  Sugar-Free frosting recipe
AllRecipes.com has a sugar-free frosting recipe that contains cream cheese and a box of sugar-free pudding as the sweetener. I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but it has received excellent ratings! Here’s the link: Sugar-Free Frosting

Serve with sugar-free ice cream and enjoy.  :-)

Diabetic-Friendly Cool Whipped Frosting!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Below is a link for another tasty frosting recipe that can be made diabetic-friendly by modifiying the recipe a bit.  Just substitute sugar-free pudding in the recipe for the regular vanilla pudding. I use regular whipped topping, as it has very little sugar.  Here’s the recipe:

Cool Whipped Frosting  (Be sure to read the reviews!)

This is scrumptious topped with sliced almonds!
