My mother; neighbor and son etc were recently diagnosed with adult onset diabetes ( i believe type II) neighbor was diagnosed "prediabetic" etc and i know many many more who ARE diabetic and are long term who oft request cakes from me but i know they pass on partaking of them due to their change in lifestyle and diets.

I'd like to get some cake recipes and frostings from those of you who have had experience in making these cakes and frostings (or have suddenly found a good one! hehe)

I'm really interested in creating something for them so they aren't excluded out on special occassions.

I will add i usually dont make my own cakes from scratch as those i have attempted in the past were dry and bland so be kind and remember in this field i'm a novice

many many thanks!

*bumps* ideas anyone? i'm surprised no one's noticed this one yet

I am having the same problem. Doing a cake for a baby shower in a couple of weeks and mother in law & grandma are diabetic. I would like to make a diabetic cake for them.

guess i'll have to crack open the google text books then. i had found some recipies but was hoping to find some from members Here who have actually Made some and tried some and would have some to Recommend

Try Splenda.com they have some good diabetic dessert recipes, not just cakes. HTH.

Click on the Search tab here at CC & type in diabetic. It will bring up various threads, photos, etc. Hope this is of some help!

Haven't tried this but read about it......http://earlenescakes.com/icings.htm . Also there are some recipes here: http://www.baking911.com/asksarahbb/index.php?showtopic=1441 . Pillsbury has just put out a reduced sugar cake mix that *might* be of some help as well. I've not made mine yet but have a box of it to try from WalMart. You might also check the forums on www.wilton.com. Sure hope this is of some help.
