This recipe is a family favorite that comes from a former colleague of mine who wowed everybody at work with it when we had one of our pot lucks. I have made it so many times and have experimented with different variations: *Home made pound cake or angel food cake *Lemon pudding *Homemade real whipping cream *Added blueberries For a reduced sugar version use sugar free angel food cake; strawberries with Splenda Sugar Blend; and sugar free pudding, To eat it, just scoop it out with a serving spoon going down through the layers.
