Thread: Weight Watchers Recipes :)

Hi there fellow weight watchers!

I hope everyone's doing ok with their diets.

I'm calling out to anyone who ever bakes (because I do not - in fact, I never have! )

It's my little girls 1st birthday in June and I would really love to bake her a birthday cake. I know it's silly, she's only 1 so it's not as if she'll even know I did it, but I would still like to have a go - plus I thought it would be nice to have one for the photos (I want her to look back at her birthday pics and think I was a good home cooking only type mum, hehe).

So, I have NEVER baked a cake in my entire life, and I wondered if anyone has any tasty low points recipes? I could follow a standard recipe from a book I suppose, but I'm not even sure if it would work if I substituted the sugar for sweetener, or even the lower cal sugar...would that just ruin the taste?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I need to know how to make the cake AND how to make the 'butter icing' to decorate it with. ANY recipes will be gratefully received, lower point recipes would be a real bonus.

Thanks people!
