[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 54799, member: 1233"] There are quite a few cook books for kids that use fructose or concentrated apple or grape juice for sweetening. Is it just sugar (glucose) that is the problem? Is fructose a problem? People sometimes think that fructose is not "sugar" but it is sugar from fruits. So checking with your nutritionist might be a very good idea. Special days where you blow a diet with a serving or 2 of foods off your diet can be ok, but if you have too much of the "forbidden" foods then you can be really miserable at night or the next few days. Sometimes that isn't fun to see as a parent or spouse. (Can you tell I have been there done that with food problems?) I have found with my kids that if they are having sweet items off their diets having protein items (on their diets) to balance really helps. Artificial colors may also contribute to problems, so if you are going to do icing, the spray on food color gives a lot less color for the effect. You can also use different fruit juices from frozen fruits to color things. I do have a wonderful carrot cake if you want the recipe. I can probably find one made with juice as a sweetener if that will work, just let me know. OH- just thought to mention this, if your kiddo likes the "store bought" cakes because of the decorations (spongebob, whatever), many bakeries will sell you just the cake decorations alone. Around here WalMart is the cheapest, you just have to ask at the bakery and explain it is for a child with food allergies or problems. They have been very helpful at all the bakeries here, but WalMart has been the cheapest. Susie [/QUOTE]
