I am having a desert only wedding reception. My grandmother and several of my other guests are diabetic. What are some things I can have there for them to enjoy?

I am a health educator who works with patients with diabetes. My husband's also has a history of diabetes. We provide our patients with desserts made with Splenda (a sugar substitute). Splenda is the only sugar substitute that has good results with baking. Providing fruit is not a good alternative because of the natural sugars. People with diabetes are to only eat limited amounts of sugar. There are a lot of places now that prepare desserts with splenda. I would have little menu cards/tent cards that identify which desserts that are provided are sugar free.

If you go to a good bakery, you can get sugar-free cookies that look great and taste almost as good as the real thing. I've seen sugar-free cakes at different grocery stores' bakeries, and I'm sure you could find them at bakeries. There are lots of sugar-free choices nowadays.
Perhaps talking to one of the diabetic guests would be a good idea-just ask what they snack on.

Simple, cost effective suggestion... Do an angel food cake and add a fruit topping or some other topping that diabetics can eat.

Ask whoever is making your cake. Most will be able to make a sugar free version. We did this, we got a small sugar free cake for my mom and other relatives who are diabetic. Worked out great, the girls at the cake table kept the sf cake separate and we let those who needed sf that there was something special for them at the cake table.

Some fresh fruit, maybe a meat and cheese tray with crackers.
That way, your guests will be able to make some better choices about things to enjoy. With that tad of "real" food, they may even be able to have a nibble of your wedding cake.
Congratulations!

There are several sugar-free desserts, or low sugar desserts. I don't know if you are making them or if you are getting it catered; either way it should be relatively simple to include some diabetic choices.

You can get desserts made with nutrasweet or other artificial sweeteners. Fruit and cheese also make nice desserts.
Don't forget to offer some non-sugary drinks too.

you may decrease and serve the cake and the different secret deSSert. Have some one wrap products of cake for client to take living house, in the experience that they prefer . Q: How a lot cake might want to I order? A: the real question you want to respond to first is, are you serving your wedding ceremony cake as dessert, or, are you "wrapping" the cake on your travellers to take living house? when you're serving cake as dessert, you'll want slightly of cake for each individual attending, no matter if or not they eat cake or no longer. that is because of the particular shown reality that maximum venues do no longer ask your travellers in the experience that they want cake. they in basic terms decrease up the cake and bypass it out to each position placing or some venues decrease a number of the cake and positioned it on a table without slicing something else of the cake and by no ability providing it to travellers. that is strongly recommended to make confident that all and diverse of cake is decrease and wrapped and given to travellers so that you're not any further left with an abundance of cake to take living house. that is why to procure the cake to share such as your travellers. when you're "wrapping" the cake, you don't desire to have slightly for each individual. travellers will in many cases take slightly with them as they are leaving the reception. that is as a lot as you approaches a lot cake to reserve. we recommend you order for no less than 2/3 of your travellers. you gained't have a very last count number of wedding ceremony travellers till about one month earlier on your wedding ceremony date. although, there's a formulation for estimating what your certainly count number is in all probability to be: take 20% off the total quantity of human beings you're inviting; for instance, when you're inviting 2 hundred human beings total, 2 hundred x .20 = 40, 2 hundred - 40 = one hundred and sixty human beings. we recommend that you in common words order what you imagine you'll want. we can sense free to operate "more effective servings" to handle any client overages, yet we can't "change down" a cake structure as quickly because that is been booked.
