    If you ever baked anything or made desserts this is no surprise. You always have to cut the sugar amount in half.

      I think it’s better just to make and eat desserts less frequently than try to mess with the sugar ratios, especially with baking. Like if you want something healthy maybe make a fruit tart instead of something that involves something like Nutella or cake icing where it’s supposed to be very sweet.

        Naaah, it works alright.

        In some cases fucked up amounts of sugar are integral for the receipt (e.g Kouign-amann), but in most other cases (e.g cheesecakes) it is there just because author thinks it is the right amount.

        Bakery is a spektrum and less sugary bakery have even more rights to exists than over-sugared.

          I use way way less sugar in anything I bake, especially like apple pies, of which I use zero sugar. Once your palette adjusts it tastes good, you can taste the natural sweetness of fruits and vegetables.

          And everything can be lessened, with time. Even the amount of sugar in bakery.

          You’ll get used to the changed taste.

          (of course everything else will taste more or less like sugar only, when compared to own makings with less sugar)
