I do preach that we have too much sugar in our diets but everything in moderation and a life without cheating sometimes would be a life of rules and in my book that's no fun. Every now and then we need to make something for a celebration dinner or party. My chocolate kahlua cake and New York cheesecake with cinnamon cream don't breach too many rules and when you divide the sugar among the servings it's not so bad.
