Angel Food Cupcakes for All Occasions
Angel food cupcakes are perfect for any occasion! Light and fluffy, they aren't as filling as other cakes and cupcakes, so they are the perfect ending to a heavy meal, or a light lunch.
This is a simple recipe made with your own fresh ingredients.You can of course use any icing, but I have included a basic creamy Vanilla icing which can be changed by adding food colors.
You can also decorate them in a myriad of ways to fit any party decorating theme, from weddings to showers of any kind. Enjoy!

~My favorite way to use them is to make Chocolate Mousse.
~My second favorite way is to add one more Egg and mix. Add in some fresh vegetables, and cook the whole mixture in some fresh olive oil for a really rich Frittata.
