Consider baking your own desserts. The sky's pretty much the limit. My family never eats premade or from a mix desserts. I use high quality ingredients and cut the sugar to usually around half what the recipes call for. When my children tasted other people's baking they say "all I can taste is the sugar!".
And before you wonder if I am one of those crunchy 'these cookies are gluten free egg free and sweetened with applesauce' sorts...no. The desserts and sweet treats I make are delicious. You simply don't need as much sugar as most of us are accustomed to, to make things taste good.
