Last week, for Young Women's, we had a going away party for Ariel, our one graduating Senior.  She is heading to BYU this week, and so we had a fun party, all about her.  (It was also my very last activity with them before I leave.)

I was in charge of the dessert, and decided that I needed to do something with strawberries.  Then I knew I wanted angel food cake with them, and then I found myself staring at my beautiful new trifle bowl, and knew that I had to use it.  Soon I had created this . . .

To make it yourself, it is pretty simple.

• First, wash and cut up a pound of strawberries.  Mix in a few spoonfuls of sugar and let it sit in the fridge a few hours, so the juices start running.

• Next, bake an Angel Food cake according to the package directions and let it cool completely.  (I usually use the Dunkin Heinz brand.)

• Then, make up a box of White Chocolate pudding (Jello brand).

• Last, make some homemade whipped cream*, but if you want, you can replace it with cool whip, it just won't taste as creamy.

Fold the pudding into the whipped cream, and set aside.  Then tear the cake up and layer one half of it in the trifle bowl.  Then pour in half of the pudding/cream mixture.  Layer in half of the strawberries, and then repeat.  It is so yummy!  Enjoy!!

*To make the whipped cream, beat a pint of whipping cream until it starts to get thick.  Then add in 1 tsp of vanilla and 1 T of sugar, while continuing to beat until it is thick and creamy.
