Macaroon Angel Cakes

---

Definitely sent by angels, this recipe makes 24 cuppies and is diabetic friendly. they are sooo pretty tinted with a bit of food coloring; just stir it in the batter. if you're making them for a baby shower (so much easier and cheaper than buying a heavy-on-the-calories bakery cake) tint some of the batter blue, some of the batter pink, and bake them in the mini-muffin liners. the possibilities are endless!!
