I use Sara Lee pound cake (love that stuff!). Brush each slice with some melted jam (strawberry or apricot are my favorites). And I use canned fruit cocktail in heavy syrup, along with fresh strawberries. I use Vanilla Pudding and top with Cool Whip. Garnish with Strawberries (or other berries if available) and Kiwis .

ohh..

*yum* trifles

pretty much the same way you guys have mentioned - but with a few variations

any lemon/white cake - mes makes it myself
custard
jello - two different colours (i.e. - red and green)
whip cream - made from using the dry powder found at stores
variety of fruit - bananas, apples, pears, etc.

start with the pieces of cake at the bottom of the dish
then layer on the custard
add the fruit
then the jello, and that's one layer

keep doing that until you reach the top of the dish
..once you've reached the top, you've got fruit - and on top of the fruit, throw on the whip cream, and on top of that add pieces of jello.

and ta-da!

just a tip - if it's going to be a couple of hours before you have the trifle and you don't want the fruit to go black - add some of the canned fruit. the juice that's in the can, helps prevent the real fruit from going black.

how do u layer the jelly on the custard? doesnt it seep through or something ?

^ hmm..
well i make my jello is a sqaure shaped dish - and then i cut them up into square shaped pieces.
and no it doesn't really seep because the jello, although wobbly, is pretty much strong enough to stand on it's own

Also a tip for trifle, is make the jello a little more firm then you would normally make it to eat alone, just add less water.

They way my mom makes it , and we all love it like this :

First layer is jello, cool until firmly set.
Second layer is cake (we usually bake at home)
Third layer is custard (prepare custard according to the directions on the package), when slightly cooler, add drained fruit cocktail (the canned variety).

We love it this way, its a huge hit in our home.
