This dish is a wonderful dessert for any occasion. It's great for parties or for a picnic. I love this one and I make it a lot for family. I like to whip up things from whatever I have in the pantry.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This strawberry trifle requires a big bowl. Not just because the recipe makes a lot, but because your family is going to want to eat a lot of this truly delightful dessert. Yellow and red velvet cake cubes are the base. Then it's layered with fluffy pudding, tart strawberries, sweet strawberry glaze, and whipped topping. The perfect finish to any summer supper.
