This trifle was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using a lighter custard next time.

I'm not a big fan of trifle, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The layers of cake, custard, and fruit are perfectly balanced.

This recipe was a disaster! The custard curdled and the cake was dry. I don't recommend it.

I had some trouble getting the custard to set properly, but the trifle still tasted good. I'll have to experiment with different methods next time.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
