See… they’re cutie pie trifles, right? Stick a fork in ’em and let your guests be mega impressed at the dessert that you spent all of 30 minutes creating.
You’ll need a specialty item for this one: a small star-shaped cookie cutter. You might have luck locating one in your local grocery star this time of year, but otherwise check a cooking or baking supply store (or even Target or WalMart). Use store bought pound cake or make your own homemade– just cut some stars from the center of each slice. The assembly process is so basic that it’s kind of silly… but for those who need a visual, just layer cake pieces, cream, berries, more cake pieces, more cream and more berries. Then place that cute little pound cake star on top.
I told you it was easy, right? I didn’t bother with a homemade pound cake for my recipe. The bakery at my local market makes a decent lemon pound cake, so I went with that. Make homemade if you prefer, but I’m telling you that it won’t make a huge difference if you just use the store bought one. No one will ever know….!
Add some fancy forks (or plastic ones!) and serve these up at your 4th of July party. They’re sure to be a big hit. Don’t skimp on those stars. They’re totally the key to making this recipe so adorable and extremely f.e.s.t.i.v.e.
