Lilly's Triffle

Lilly LOVES TO BAKE.  She picked out a red velvet cake mix...and she put it all together by herself.

But it was in the oven too long...and it was a little dry around the edges.

So, I suggested she cut it up and we make a Triffle instead.

She looked up Triffle:

Trifle (TRI-fuhl) – The word “trifle” comes from the old French term “trufle,” and literally means something whimsical or of little consequence. A proper English trifle is made with real egg custard poured over sponge cake soaked in fruit and sherry and topped with whipped cream.

She started by cutting up the cake -- and slicing away the dry, over-baked bits...

She sliced some fresh strawberries...added a little sugar...

Then, she made a box of instant vanilla pudding -- adding some strawberry kool-aid to give it a pink color...

Then, in a big glass bowl, she began to layer the elements.

It looked great...

She finished it off with some real whipped cream.

The finished design was all her own...
