4th of July Desserts...with little to no fructose!

Hi! Thanks for stopping by :)

We are going to a 4th of July family party. Usually someone would bring cupcakes for the kids, decked out in red,white & blue frosting and sprinkles. And of course a cake like the one below. 

This 4th, knowing Nate is fructose intolerant...we will still have our adorable desserts & bbq, just a fructose free (or very minimal) way.

So below is the simple Betty Crocker cute flag cake recipe. The box of cake is fine- even the berries are so low in fructose having a few wont make Nate sick. It's that can of frosting. Brownies can also be made fructose free- gotta love that cane sugar!

So I plan on making my home-made frosting- viola! Fructose free! 

Ready, set, celebrate! An all-American cake like this is all the reason you need for a get-together.
