Sugar free cake ?/ Birthday

Tomorrow is my birthday....I thought about just getting a regualr cake mainly for my kids but now started to think maybe I could find a yummy sugar free or low sugar cake??

Ive tried the new box cake that is sugar free  by Pillsbury and I really didnt like. Does anyone sell sugar free cakes?? I prefer one thats made already but if you have a good reciepe i would consider that too....What did you have for your birthday??

my bday was a month post op.. i had a sliver of cake and a couple sips of wine...

I bake so I made my bday cake.

Your best bet on cake might be a sugar free angel food cake. It also has no fat.

BUT.

All types of sugar free/no sugar added baked goods are high in sugar alcohols. I am very sensitive to these, and get a lot of side effects (queasy, bloated, very excessive gas, can have a laxative effect). So....tread lightly!

For my birthday I stick with sugar free ice cream, and even then have to play it safe on which brand I choose.

And my birthday is Monday!

Hi Lynn,

My birthday is Monday too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

The pillsbury sugar free brownies are wonderful.... I'm with you on the cake.  Personally, on my b-day, I skipped the cake and food related celebrations & went to the movies.

Wow, I loved the sugar free Devil's Food Cake from Pillsbury. A little too much in fact...

If anyone you know is a baker, you can sub Splenda 1:1 for regular sugar in a cake. I've done it before and it turns out fine. For icing I usually use either sugar-free icing (also Pillsbury) or I do a cream cheese frosting with cream cheese, sugar free pudding mix and a bit of Splenda.

OR

For a whole new spin on your birthday you could do a cheesecake. Here's my WLS friendly cheesecake recipe. It works with or without added protein (and with or without the banana I included in this one):

Folks have told me they have used either a graham cracker or a Nilla Wafer crust instead of the Fiber One. I just like Fiber One a lot.

Hope you find something you like!

For icing you can also use sf pudding mix (dry) added into a container of Cool Whip Lite or Cool Whip Free.  You can use any flavor sf pudding you want.  I have used chocolate and it is good.

 I know cheesecake factory has a cheesecake made with splenda, I"ve never tried it .. but sounds yummy to me!  Happy Birthday!

Has anyone ever tried one of the microwave cakes on theworldaccordingtoeggface.com? How are they? I've been trying to figure out what I want for my birthday next week, which will be exactly 1 month post op.

Oh my kids LOVE five minute cakes!

They are sort of bread-y though. But still very good. I smear them with sweetened cream cheese. YUM!
