There's about half of an angel food cake here. I'm thinking I can cube it,
fold it with a can of pie filling ( cherry, maybe) and perhaps some sort of
cream cheese concoction. Nobody coming by that we need to impress and I
don't have access to toasted eye of newt. Just want to make it special
(again). Any ideas? Polly

Frankly, that sounds gacky to me. Heavy! I'd stick with meringue or
whipped cream, some fresh fruit that doesn't have any gluey corn starch
added.

cube, drizzle with filling then whipped cream, or strawberries that have
been sliced and sugared, then the w/c, or as a basis for a bread pudding?

Slice it thin enough to fit into toaster.
Toast it.
Lay it flat on plate, put a scoop of icecream on top.
Dollop of whipped cream if you must. Add a cherry if you have one.
Simple, tastes great.

Mail it to Julie Bove. She and her daughter are probably allergic to
it.

Throw it out.

Right: if she left it out at room temperature for two hours or more,
it's probably crawling with bacteria. Only pressure cooking for 30
minutes would kill the spores.

Crawling with bacteria! Why?

I love to toast leftover angel food cake. Those brown crispy edges
are delicious.

I have seen, but not tried, recipes for grilling skewers of cake cubes
and fruit. That sounds like fun. Serve some ice cream on top.

Just playing along with chemo.

I was thinking about strawberries. Macerate them with sugar to create
"strawberry juice" and serve over the cake.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

For me, there's no such thing as leftover angel food cake... but just
for laughs, I googled "recipe +leftover angel food cake" and behold
the hits!

I suppose you could chop them, but I just slice, quarter or half -
depending on my mood and how pretty the berries are. I usually do the
nonalcoholic version with sugar only (be sure to let the berries sit
long enough to liquefy the sugar and give up some juice), but this is
an acceptable "fancy" alternative AFAIC

My MO is a knife, some sugar and time--- But if I wanted them really
macerated I'd use the muddler I got for mint juleps. I made 4-- and
probably won't be using it for *that* again.

Mix it with fruit and whipped cream and make a trifle.

You just posted that you macerate your berries (mistakenly thinking they
last longer) in sugar and lemon juice in the fridge.
That's called macerating/maceration.. it draws out the juices and makes
the berries mushy soft.

Aw, just dump some blueberries, strawberries, or pineapple chunks on
it, and dump a thin yogurt sauce over it all. Maybe a shot of
chocolate. KISS. Or even ice cream - or just eat in your hand for a
mid morning snack.
