I don't think this restuarant serves Angel Food cake. Unfotunately.
I don't know why I have so much trouble sticking to the diet. I just miss the grill cheeses and brocolli chedder soups too much! That was what us girls did when we got together was ate. I think the pain doesn't bother me so much because I lived with it for 7 years and although painfull - I find it even more disappointing when I try to be so disciplined and I still get "D". It makes me so frustrated that I just cry so instead of crying because of disappointment - I cry because of pain.
I don't that is so terrible, but I just hate disappointment so much.(As I sure everyone does)

I would suggest that someone bring the angel food cake along. As Heather has suggested, one good excuse to use is that you have food sensitivities/allergies, and cannot tolerate certain foods. Most people have a great understanding and respect for that. You are after all buying restaurant foods, so the place is not just letting you use the space for nothing.
I can well understand your disappointment...but your body does understand the difference of WHY you are crying...if it's from not having the foods you like (there's that gut brain working) or the foods!
Keep a smile  on your face and try for the positive attitude.
I cry too, and my dear hubby always reminds me that my gut knows what's going on and the anxiety doesn't help. He's right.
Try to think of the best case scenario!

well, for my birthday i made a devil's food cake (from the box because i'm lazy, and they use cocoa powder in the mix) but used the "low fat" instructions: replaced the whole eggs with egg whites, and the oil with applesauce. ended up tasting great and didn't bother me at all. and Rice Dream on the side. man, i love rice dream! Whole Foods Market carries the whole line... vanilla, chocolate... mmm yeah

sounds,yummy, and worth a try. And something that might be carried to a restaurant as well.

I have never tried to take outside food into a restuarant but I don't know if I would feel comfortable doing that - maybe I could make a cake that I can eat and invite the girls over after for some. Then I wouldn't feel like I am missing out because I have some waiting at home for me.
I will have to learn to relax more about my diet, but as everyone I am sure understands, its tough to change eating habits you have had all your life.
Thanks for the advice Sue,

Lana,
You have to do what's comfortable for you...the idea of asking the girls over after the celebration is a great idea!
