A little while back I was asked to make a cake with Splenda for my sil that was going on a crazy diet (btw, it didn't work...) I researched and asked and was also told that Splenda would substitute perfectly for sugar, NOT. I couldn't believe how bad it tasted, I served it to unsuspecting "victims" to make sure it wasn't just me and everyone of them spit it out with a "what the heck was that" look on their faces, it was almost fun 
I pride myself as a good baker and this was not acceptable. I happen to not use any artificial sweetener or fake fat in anything, after just a little bit of research anyone would see how bad it is for you, but that's jmho... Anyway, I just carved a little square out the death cake (as it came to be known) and used it as a top tier on a regular cake that everyone loved and ate, everything in moderation... I couldn't keep a clean conscience and feed this stuff to children, the option af a separate cake for her child is the best I've heard and I'll be trying some healthy options suggested there just for this kind of request, thanks janh for the link
