Grilled Angel With Berries and Cinnamon Whipped Wings

It's tough finding a good grilled dessert. This one finds it's way to my grill often after a summer BBQ. It's flexible with many options on the toppings. Experiment. The grilled cake seems to really add something. Please clean your grill before cooking the cake. There is no greater culinary suprise than fishy angel food cake. While I'm laboring at the grill with the cake, my wife takes it easy doing the berries and whipped cream. The times indicated reflect doing it all by yourself. The Cinnamon Whipped Cream recipe comes from Melanie Vassallo (#108469).
