Notes/Quick Tips:

• Angel food cake is not naturally very sweet. If you would like to add some sweetness, you can add 1/4 cup of sugar to your mixture.

• When piping your icing, you can use a ziplock. Just put the ziplock in a cup, fill it with icing and cut the tip off the corner. *be careful not to cut too much or it will just spill out.
