Due to chronic back pain, I am relegated to an anti-inflammatory regime. Sugar is poison ☠️ for me. Same for sugar substitutes.Miss cake!
Ideas?

I have a niece with an inflammatory condition, and she's been on a "no gluten, no sugar, and no dairy" diet for two years (and likes it!). She still produces some excellent baked goods.
She uses monkfruit sweetener (available from Amazon, and other sources), with what I would call good success....

Congrats Jessie! 🎉🏅👩🍳 You deserved the win because it’s a great cake. So many recipes to pick from and they chose the BEST!

It SOUNDS great, but I have no idea what it LOOKS like, because your photographer and editor choose to only include a top-down photo of the icing. The article is about a snake cake, and you only show pics of some icing...
Typical.

Go to Jessie Sheehan Bakes Facebook page. There’s is a great photo of the inside & top of the cake (with sprinkles on top) & you can see it. I would put the pic up but it doesn’t look like I can attach it. It is delicious! You can easily cut the frosting recipe in half if you think it’s too much. For me, never enough.

Snack, not snake. Maybe that's where you're confused? But - yes, photos can be helpful :)

My apologies.
I lost an eye defending my country, and sometimes autocorrect gets the best of me.
I suppose it should have been spelled "snark."

I was with you until I read the last word of your comment. I don’t understand why anyone would choose to be snarky about a photo of cake. Says more about you than than the editors.

I wasn't being snarky, and it wasn't about a blob of cake.
I was being ironic, and it was about someBODY who was snarky enough to feel the need to point out, and correct an obvious typo.

Look I hate the grammar police as well. I was commenting your first comment.

Thank you for your service, and for asking about the photo. Thank you to Kathy for telling us where to find one. No thanks to the editors who thought a picture of her dog (I LOVE dogs, and that's a cute one) made more sense than a better picture of the snack cake.
