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.

Slice it into bread slice pieces. Fresh strawberries[in season as per omelet
below], cut and sugared for 1+ hours[sugaring optionsl]. Strawberries go on
slice of angel cake. Blast top with whipped light cream.

My mother used to slice the angle to slice angel food cake into two or
three layers and slap in some lemon pudding then cover the whole thing
with whipped cream. It was delicious. I haven't had it for years.

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.

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!

Glad I read this first! ;-) I was about to suggest the same thing...
California strawberries under $2.00 per lb. the past two weeks!

To make the berries last longer, I process them as soon as I get home.
Wash, core, slice and put them into a container, add some lemon juice
and sweetner of choice, mix well and refrigerate.

Use as desired.

Toasted angel food cake or pound cake with a little butter really is
tasty.
