Step-by-Step Instructions for Easter Trifle Dessert
  1. Prepare the white or yellow cake mix according to the package instructions. Divide the batter into four bowls and add gel food coloring to create pastel shades. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the instant pudding mix with 2 cups of milk until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  3. Layer the dessert in a large glass trifle bowl, starting with cubed pastel cake, followed by chilled pudding, then whipped topping. Repeat layers, finishing with whipped topping.
  4. Decorate the top layer with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers for a festive touch.
  5. Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
