Can I bake with this for my child’s party without anyone noticing the difference?

Is this sweetener safe to use during pregnancy?
Lakanto is made from natural monk fruit and erythritol, but if you are pregnant or nursing, you should always consult your healthcare provider before using any sugar substitute.
What is the difference between monk fruit sweetener and stevia?
Both are natural, zero-calorie sweeteners, but monk fruit has a cleaner, sugar-like taste without the bitter or licorice-like aftertaste that some people experience with stevia.
