I've had this question arise, so here is my disclaimer on the subject:
Decorated cakes are not intended for people who are watching carbs, fat, calories, and sugar. They are not a health food (except mental health ) and are not intended as a daily staple, but a special treat for special occasions.
Decorator frosting is fat and sugar, with a little flavoring and some liquid. To make a low-fat or low-carb or no-sugar decorator frosting will require significant substitution and would be quite costly.
I have done some searching and you can have fat free or sugar free, but not both in the cake and frosting and have it taste right. Like stated earlier, decorated cakes are not intended for people watching fat and sugar intake. I have found recipes for fat free cakes, and sugar free icings but it would cost you quite a bit more than I would normally charge for a cake.

Race track cake
This cake was for my oldest son's 9th birthday. I got this idea from a web-site and created my own. The 9 is a race track. I got the cars from a local craft store. I made the 9 template on Microsoft Word. My son helped me decorate it. The original was to make the "grass" pointy but he wanted his grass smooth. He absolutely loved the cake!

Course 2 cake
I was really worried how this cake was going to turn out, but was very pleased with the results. So many of my classmates commented on it!
This cake was created over a 4 week period. Each week we learned new techniques and flowers. This is the final result!
Our teacher said a cake like this would run around $40. My family said they can't wait to taste it, but it almost looks too good to eat!!
