The Angel Food Cake Disaster. What Went Wrong?

   It was 4:00 this morning and I just couldn't get back to sleep. After spending some time with coffee and Facebook, I decided I wanted to bake something special for breakfast.  I was going to bake an Angel Food Cake and make a Fresh Friut topping! I have always known I wasn't very good at baking. When it come to cooking, I feel I can produce some pretty good food. Baking is a different story. It's a science that I just can't ever seem to figure out! Everytime I bake, I say "this will be the exception, I will follow the recipe EXACTLY and it will come out perfect". Once again, it did not happen! I don't know what happened.
     
          I followed the recipe perfectly, I used a brand new bundt pan and I even stood in front of the over for the entire 37 minutes of baking time the recipe called for. Well, it looked amazing and I truly thought "I DID IT!". When I turned the pan upside down and over a small glass like the recipe said too, it completely crumbled out of the pan and a good portion of it shrivled up, like wet cotton candy! Here is the end result in the picture. I am so bummed out. Looks like its a scrambled eggs, bacon and fruit kind of a morning. What went wrong with the cake?!
