Celebrations are incomplete without a savory and delicious cake. Cakes are the most popular desserts of choice for meals at parties, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. Whether it's a cheesecake, chocolate cake or butter cake, it is loved by people of all ages, and especially by the kids. But with the ever-increasing risks of sugar intake, like diabetes and obesity, people have reduced the consumption of sugar and started using sugar-free supplements in their diet. Sugar-free supplements come in three types: table sugar made from fruit concentrates or puree, powdered sugar made from aspartame and sucrose, which is the latest version in sugar-free supplements with minimum calories.
