Cake smash help

I want to do a cake smash for my LO's bday. We have not given her Sugar so far, and I want to avoid giving that to her as long as I can. I am not sure I to do a cake smash. I tried looking for bakers who can do no sugar cakes but was not successful. Any suggestions, stuck in the dilemma of whether to allow her sugar or not do a cake smash.

We don’t allow sugar in general but are doing a cake smash. I don’t think as a one off it’ll do any harm and the photos make lovely memories 😊

Betty crocker do a no sugar vanilla sponge box mix but obvious it has sweeteners in to make it taste not completely horrible. We did that for our lo and did whipped double cream for icing

Depending on how you feel, there are a tonne of sugar free and sugar free cake and icing recipes on pinterest which I'm thinking of making for my little one's cake smash :- ) But equally, they'll likely eat so little of it anyway, I don't think they'd ingest too much sugar!

My daughter turned one the beginning of the month. We have avoided sugar also and she eats a healthy diet. She had a cake smash for her birthday and the photos really are lovely. She totally wasn’t interested in eating the cake even though she could have if she wanted to. She did not even want to touch it 🤣 I Would still go ahead x

I did a healthy one with some maple syrup, pumpkin and pear instead of sugar it tasted but he didn't eat much https://scrummylane.com/healthy-pumpkin-pear-loaf-cake/#wprm-recipe-container-11257

Why don't you bake a cake?🤷🏼‍♀️ That way you know that it'll have no added sugar & it'll save you a fortune.

@Celine a very Happy birthday to your LG.

@Evie I am not great at baking, I have burnt a few muffins before. 😅 don't want to ruin my daughter cake smash.

@Sarah🦄 I am not great at baking. I have tried before and had burnt a few muffins. I'm not sure if I want to risk my daughter's cake smash.

@Alex, the recipe, looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

@Yasmin I am going to probably do a one of hoping she won't eat much.

@Beth, thank you for the suggestion. I am not great at baking so may be on another occasion, and I can give it a go.

Do pancakes and then find an icing or something that’s like low sugar or make your own

I made a cake for my LO’s bday using Groovy Keto sugar free Carrot Cake mix and added a cup of grated carrot for extra moisture. I decorated it with whipped cream. Really delicious!

@Rhiannon Aww, she is adorable. Happy birthday to your LG.
