It's appropriate to have cake for breakfast sometimes, right?

If you're looking for something fun to make that's light and fresh, take a look at this berry trifle. Orange cake layered with vanilla custard, fresh fruit and whipped topping-- It doesn't get any better than this!

I made this for the Fourth of July with my family and it was a hit. But, considering it was only a couple of us, we were treating ourselves alllll week with this dessert.

A trifle, although it looks fancy, is so easy to make and perfect for any potluck or gathering. The best part is, you don't have to worry about slicing up a cake or making sure the layers come out perfectly, because it's going to all be covered with whipped topping and fruit at the end!
