This looked and tasted fantastic. Made one also for bake sale and it was snatch up right away. How easy it was to make, which really dresses up the angel food with the colored layers, I will be making this often as I love angel food cake. Great for dieters you feel like you are getting a really special treat. Presentation was great! Thanx for a great idea.
