I was really lazy when I took this picture and left it in the fridge. It was mostly because my trifle bowl isn't quite big enough and it was overflowing down the sides a little bit. As I was growing up, my mom made this for special occasions. It has always been one of my very favorite desserts. And it looks awesome too!! I think my mom's trifle bowl is bigger and so it looks better. I kind of have to squish mine in, so it doesn't look quite as good.
