Okay, this looks good enough to eat. The contest calls for only three sentences and you have delivered three with the needed three buzz words.
I wish you good luck in the contest.
Good job in micro writing.

What a great entry! And very interesting and informative notes as well. It meets all requirements and is different and imaginative, so I am sure it will do well. Best wishes.

It might just be a bit too different. One reviewer has already queried how a story about food can be spiritual.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
So, you are thanking God for angel food cake is that right? Don't you think this is pushing spiritual fiction a bit far? You might as well thank him for everything you eat and drink and consume on a daily basis. And if you do, why didn't you write about that instead of angel food cake? Since this is called spiritual fiction do you not believe this is so? I am a little confused as what spiritual fiction means. Would you clarify this for me?
Sorry for all the questions I am just curious that is all. Thanks for sharing your fictionalized beliefs.

The prompt asked for a 21-word story to include the words Angel, Heaven and God, which was a rather limiting brief with the potential for most entries to be fairly predictable, so I opted for something completely different... being grateful for fine food and the fellowship of a Sunday School picnic... while also linking the story through the notes to the relevance of that particular style of cake to a couple of Christian religious groups and what is important to them: funerals and weddings.

Oh. Okay, just asked that's all.

No harm in asking... I'm happy to explain why I write things.

That is good to know...thanks!

You're so clever! I like your refreshing take on the challenge using all those required words but showing us that we can write about the joy of enjoying home baked cake! I didn't know all the background on the Angel Food cake that you included in your notes! Best wishes in the contest!

In such a short write I felt I needed to come at it from a different perspective. I've never tasted that cake myself, but now I am tempted to try and bake one.

I don't mind it but it's not my favorite. I can taste the "cream of tartar" which I don't care for. But it's always welcome with berries. It's summer there so enjoy!
