Great cake with a big give away
I have been given products from Sans Sucre in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own and are in no way influenced by the company providing the items. Affiliate links are included in this post.
Sans Sucre (sugar-free in French) manufactures products that have limited, or no sugar added, and they are gluten-free. I was contacted by them last week, and they asked if I might do a review. I agreed because of the low/no sugar added appeal for people with diabetes, and since they are gluten-free, the products appeal to a wide segment of the RA community who live gluten-free.
All I can say about the product I have tried is Wow!! Now I know what the people with type 1 diabetes are about to say: I do not use any sugar added items, it might be no sugar added, but it still has carbohydrate, or if I want brownies I will have brownies, I do not want anything artificial. How did I know that? Those are the very same things I say when someone asks me to try a no sugar added ite
m.
So far Sheryl and I have tried the blondie mix, and I love the outcome. They are full flavored, they have no aftertaste, and best of all each serving has 23 carbohydrates (10 grams of sugar alcohol). One serving of the blondies is an ample 1” x 1” square. The prepared squares have only 4 Grams of fat and 1 gram of saturated fat per serving which translates to 3 Smart Points per serving on the WW diet plan.
Of course, Sans Sucre offers more than a blondie mix. They offer brownies, blondies, mousse and coffee cake. Both the mousse and key lime pie mixes have 7grams of carbohydrates plus the carbohydrates in skim milk used for the finished product. It is estimated one brownie has 120 calories while the prepared mousse and key lime pie have 70 calories per serving.
The brownie mix has Sorbitol and Maltodextrin in it. The mousse contains Maltodextrin and Sucralose. I only say this because I know some are sensitive to these ingredients. I also know that most can tolerate these ingredients in small doses. For the gluten-free readers, the products are made from rice, not wheat.
What I like:
I promise if you take these to a Thanksgiving gathering, no one will complain about the taste or texture. I know many of us look for items with lower carbohydrate counts that we like, while at the same time hoping they will satisfy the tastes of others who attend our gatherings. I think the brownies will fit the bill.
I love the texture and flavor of the blondies. They are not quite like my mother used to make, but it is close. The baking mixes retail for around $4.50 to $7.99 at the eDietShop while the mousse and pie fillings retail for about $3.90 also at the eDietShop.

Great cake
I’m interested in trying this great cake. I can’t have food with gluten and shouldn’t have sugar so this looks like a potentially winning cake to me. I have a sweet tooth as my sweet grandmother often said. I hope it is a Great Cake!
I would love to try this Great Cake ! Who doesn’t love Key Lime Pie, Brownies and Lemon Mousse ?!
Sounds like Great Cake, and I’d especially love to try the key lime …but I don’t really expect you to ship to the UK so you don’t need to include me in the draw. I just like to join in!
Great Cake!
I love including new foods into my diet. I have had type1 diabetes since 1962! This item looks so good and must be a GREAT CAKE
Stephanie, I love it as well. In the sample I had, it was a Great Cake. Good luck !!!
Thanks Rick. Great Cake

I’m still eating as much real sugar as I can get ahold of, but my diabetic mother-in-law would enjoy the great cake.
Great Cake – and I can eat cake too!
Great Cake
This sounds like a truly Great Cake! Blessings and joy in your New Year!
I am sorry to say it ‘WAS’ We had the give away in mid November. I am sorry you missed it, but I do have a give away in the works, “not as tasty as cake” but pretty cool. Watch this space for a new one coming up soon.
I wonder if I can find these cakes in the UK?
Emma, I do not know. You can reach out at info@sanssucrefoods.com It is seriously good stuff.
So happy you’ve found something that will let you eat cake.
Thanks Lene, They are so darn good.
