1 box (14.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ gingerbread cake and cookie mix
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water

2 cans (15 oz each) sliced pears
1 can (15.75 oz) lemon pie filling
2 cups whipping cream

I followed the recipe exactly, but my trifle didn't turn out quite right. The gingerbread was too dry, and the pears were too soft. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
