This is a blog of items I have baked, including recipes from the many cookbooks I own, my own created recipes, and recipes from other sources. I will write about what I have made and post a picture along with it! During stretches when I go without baking, I will write a brief article about some aspect of cooking, baking, ingredients, or preparation techniques.

Trifle
There are many different versions, variations, and varieties of trifles, but this is our signature. We use a simple combination of pound cake, cherry pie filling, chocolate pudding, and whipped cream, layered in a large, decorative glass bowl. Usually we use store-bought pound cake, instant pudding mix, canned cherry pie filling, and prepared whipped topping (gasp!!!!) just for convenience. But this trifle would be truly delectable with from-scratch pound cake, homemade chocolate pudding, fresh cherries cooked and sweetened by hand, and real cream whipped to stiff peaks. You could also do a mixture of homemade and store-bought ingredients. It is hard to believe how tasty this dish can be with only four ingredients, but these ingredients can be varied endlessly, by changing the type of cake, flavour of pudding, and type of fruit filling.
