Disclaimer - Fat Free, Sugar Free Decorated Cake

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.
