Kinda like sweetening up the papier mache mix! Fun recipe. I substituted the sweetener with half white sugar/half icing sugar. I added 4 tbsp of cocoa. I also added half of a brick of cream cheese. (I added it after I had already mixed the entire recipe smooth, so my final product ended up kinda lumpy...but that was OK. I was making a "construction" b'day cake.) Good recipe. Will make again.
