    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.

        I don’t make them often because I don’t really care for sweets that much but I still cut the sugar when I make any.

        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.
