You can also slice the angel food cake in three layers, then cut into small chunks.  Then put some chunks on the bottom of glasses, put some of the pineapple mixture on top of the cake, then place some of mixed fruit on top of pineapple mixture.  Go up two layers, as long as you end it with the fruit on the top.
