Do any of the well known bakers/ cake shops do a healthy option either cake or cupcakes? It's my Sisters birthday when they are here on hols and she is on a diet. Wanted to get her a nice cake or cupcakes as a treat. TIA

I notice the recipe for brownies required buttermillk. I don't think I've ever seen that here. Has anyone seen it anywhere? Or what do you use as a substitute?

I have always used applesauce instead of oil. Here is an article that can help. http://healthmad.com/weight-loss/have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too-guilt-free-goodies/ Thank you for your post. Is the measurement for apple sauce is same as oil? Thank you.

If you want to make them yourself, Catwalk Cow products are pretty great (though typically I hate box mixes!). They sell the products in Spinneys Motor City definitely http://www.catwalkcow.com/

It's often the frosting that is the big killer - my cupcakes are on average 250cals, but the cake itself is around 100, so by doing a drizzle icing or basically anything without the huge quantity of butter, then you can get a 150cal cupcake.... and that's not even going down the margerine and/or sugar substitutes route.
