Question 1

What is a trifle?

Accepted Answer

A trifle is one of those desserts that use multiple layers for a variety of flavors and textures. It is typically made with sponge cake and fruit layered with cream, jelly, and custard. Sometimes the cake is soaked in wine or fruit juice and the top may be covered in fruit and whipped cream.

Question 2

Can I make this patriotic trifle the night before?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. In fact, it will give the bread more time to soak up the flavors of the fruit and cream. But do not wait too long or you will end up with soggy cake and runny cream. You want to make sure you eat your trifle within 24 to 36 hours for the best flavor and texture.

Question 3

What if my flag is different colors?

Accepted Answer

If red, white, and blue are not your colors, choose different colored fruit to make what you need. For example, India's flag colors are orange, white, and green so you could use papaya or oranges and kiwi or grapes. And the flag of Romania is red, yellow, and blue so you could use strawberries or raspberries, bananas or lemons, and blueberries, grapes, or blackberries.

Question 4

Why are my cake cubes moving around so much?

Accepted Answer

Angel food cake is very light and moves around easily. To make these yummy cubes stay in place, try soaking them in the syrup before placing them in the trifle bowl. Alternatively, you could start with a layer of cream and lemon curd to give your cake cubes something to hold them in place.
