I wouldn't dare bake a whole cake with Splenda if muffins turned out that way. For my tea/coffee Spenda is fine, but for baking I stick to real sugar.
Yeah, I'd think I'd be hesitant to bake something like a cake or muffins - something that needs to rise, but a pie, puddings, etc., seems like worth experimenting with.
