Hi all,

I have just had a request come in for a childs 1st birthday cake. There is a slight problem as the mother wants the cake as "sugar free as possible" and also for the frosting to be sugar free. She has requested a cake that is maybe Vanilla with some fruit in it. And the frosting to be cream cheese.

I have only been cake decorating for 10 months and the only orders I ever get are for my well known white and dark choc mud cake, so this is totally out of my area.

Can I make just a regular vanilla cake and put some cherries in it for a bit of fruit??

ALso, how do I make sugar free cream cheese frosting? All the recipes I have googled have 2 or 3 cups of icing sugar in them also. The frosting needs to be coloured green for grass and completely cover the cake.

Thank you all so much

For the cream cheese icing there a few online if you google sugar free cream cheese frosting. All recipes which is one of my favorite sites has one. I put it below.

I would make the cake, add a frosting, then add a layer of fresh fruit (or is she saying she actually wants fruit baked into the cake?), then more cake, etc. If I were going to add fruit to an already established batter, I would add dried fruit not fresh.

Thank you so much

IS that recipe ok to color??
