Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Trifle Dessert
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Follow the directions on the cake mix package, adding eggs, oil, and water as instructed. Mix in pastel food coloring and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 5 minutes.
  3. In a trifle or large serving dish, layer the cake cubes, pudding, and whipped topping evenly, repeating until the ingredients are used up, finishing with whipped topping.
  4. Decorate the top layer with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
