As far as the sugar replacement goes, how much does "half each" equal?? Half of a little package of Sweet 'n Low?
I need to know very soon, I have to make the cake on Friday.

Thank you!

Hey, so we have a newly diabetic person in our house, and we wanted to make them a cake for their birthday-- but the recipe doesn't mention where you add in the sugar/fake sugar or butter? (I'm not a Baker, but I can usually follow a recipe.. I'm just wondering where this other stuff goes in? X'D)
