Hi there,
I have been using stevia for about the past 6 months, and find that it does well when sweetening things like tea and sauces, but not great in baked goods. I use a different, natural sweetener lately for baking: It's called erythritol and I found it at Whole Foods. Here's a website with some info on it: http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/erythritol-now-1/erythritol-now.html. I, too, am trying to cut back on my sugar intake, but it's hard because I have such a sweet tooth  So you are totally not alone!
