We celebrated my husband’s birthday on Easter, as we often do. His birthday is April 7th so since we already have the family gathered together, it is just easier to celebrate both on the same day. I was tasked with making his birthday cake. Ron isn’t much of a sweets eater so this wasn’t as easy as it may seem. After some going back and forth, and based on the success of my Peanut Butter Cup Trifle, he decided he wanted a Strawberry trifle.

We discussed what he wanted in his trifle and then I made a plan. I did my shopping and prep on Saturday and then I brought everything to my mom’s house to be assembled after Easter dinner. When he arrived, my nephew asked what I had made for dessert and I told him that I was going to put together a strawberry trifle. He asked if he could help, I got him started and he did the rest. He was very proud of the Strawberry Trifle he made for Uncle Ron’s birthday.

This trifle is wetter than the Peanut Butter Cup Trifle so it was a little more difficult to serve. It was well received but many of us felt we could have omitted the chocolate layer and replaced it with another vanilla layer. That is the fun of trifles, each time you make one you can try something new.

    Trifle is one of my favorite desserts. I have never had one made with strawberries before, though. It sounds amazing

    My middle child isn’t a big fan of chocolate so I’d probably omit the chocolate layer for her. I think it sounds perfect as is. I’ll happy gobble up strawberries & chocolate!

    My youngest turned 8 n April 3rd so we celebrated into the Easter weekend. I always make the birthday cake, no matter whose birthday it is in the family. The favorites are a raspberry mascarpone cake or strawberries and butter cream cake. Always made from scratch 🙂
