Trifle makes a dreamy dessert for a lunch, tea, Valentines' Day party or any event. It is very festive with its colorful layers to be served during the holidays, particularly Christmas.

Prepare the cake a day or two in advance. Then, when you are ready to assemble the trifle, prep the fruit, make the pudding, and whip the cream.
