		<description>Amy, in my experience, erythritol and stevia don&#039;t work great in everything. I think erythritol pairs nicely with chocolate, and it works great anytime it&#039;s being dissolved (like in a cooked pudding or pastry cream). 

However, I&#039;m not a fan of using erythritol in cookies (though chocolate cookies might be okay - I need to experiment more with those), because I still detect the cooling sensation of the erythritol. With cookies, I still use a little Splenda, usually paired with erythritol and stevia. My experience has been that when using sugar substitutes, &quot;stacking&quot; them seems to produce the best results. I try to minimize the use of anything artificial, but I do cave (like with cookies) to achieve the results I want.</description>

		<description>Jen &amp; Peabody - thanks!

Misty - I think they&#039;ll turn out fine. You&#039;ll probably want to use anywhere from 1 cup to 1 1/3 cups of sugar in the cake batter, depending on how sweet you want them. For the frosting, I would just sweeten to taste, based on what you like. I&#039;d love to hear how they turn out!</description>

		<description>These cupcakes look great.  Do you think the final product would differ any if I used organic sugar in lieu of the stevia/erythritol?  I am looking for a good tasting cake for my son who has recently been found gluten intolerant.</description>
