Now it's time to start to assemble. Cut your pound cake into small chunks.

 For your first layer..put the pound cake on the bottom. Then add the pudding and then the whip cream. Just get a big spoon and throw in spoonfuls of each. It doesn't matter where they land. Your trifle will look beautiful no matter what.

Keep going with your layers.. pound cake, pudding, whip cream.. until you run out of everything.

And here is the beautiful end result! this always wow's the crowds..because it is so pretty. I also have used our different fruit syrups in replace for the pudding and it looks and tastes great!
