Kitchen tips:
To speed prep time, quick-chill the pudding in an ice bath. Make the ice bath by floating the bowl of pudding in a large bowl of ice water. Stir the pudding occasionally.
After trimming the edges of the cake layers to fit the bowl, place the trimmings on top of that layer before continuing with the recipe.
Spread the fruit layers all the way to the edges of the dish so that the colors will be visible from the sides of the bowl when the trifle is assembled.
A chilled bowl and beaters ensures that whipping cream will form soft peaks when whipped, especially on a hot summer day.
