Anything to replace a cake?

Angel food cake has much less sugar, fat and calories than other kinds of cake, particularly cake with icing. This is because it's largely air. Given that most diabetics are on diets where they can eat some carbs/sugar, just not huge amounts, it's a good choice. I'd serve it with fresh berries (also lower in sugar and carbs than other fruit) and a choice of regular and sugar free cool whip or whipped cream. That way people can make their own choices, like the adults they are.

Going out to lunch instead? If too expensive for everyone, maybe just a few people instead. Change it up.
