Well I can totally understand that! Some people just don't the shades grey, it has to be in black and white!!!

Linda, what about using Fructose? It's a natural sugar that's found in fruit etc.

At least it would be better than using refined sugar.

That sounds like a good idea Corrie.

I did actually have some success on Saturday. I made a carrot cake completely sugar free. I added raisins and drained crushed pineapple and replaced a third of the oil with sugar-free apple sauce. It was actually rather nice .

I filled it with whipped cream mixed with crushed strawberries and on the top I did cream cheese/vanilla/cinnamon mixed with the strawberries and cream and stuck strawberries on top.

Even my brother liked it. YAY!

sounds yummy, you will have to post your recipe now so we can all try it.

My friend gave me this recipe at the weekend. I have not made it myself yet but have tasted the one she made and it was very nice.
