Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe summer berries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
- Make the cake layers a day ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. This will help them to set and make them easier to work with.
- Use a serrated knife to cut the cake layers. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
- Be careful not to over-whip the cream. Over-whipped cream will be grainy and difficult to spread.
- Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cake to soften.
