Blue Ribbon Recipe

You can never go wrong when you serve a trifle. The flavor combination of strawberries and pineapples is delicious. Placing the pound cake under the broiler adds a nice crunchy texture to the trifle. In-between the pound cake is a sweet and tangy pudding layer. This easy dessert is not only delicious but beautiful when presented.
