Birthday Trifle is My New Birthday Cake
In the great pie vs. cake debate, I'm firmly on the cake side. There's no pie in this world that tastes better than a good chocolate cake. And unless you're weird like my father, you don't celebrate your special day with birthday pie. I've had a cake on my birthday every year for as long as I can remember. Until this year.
This year my wife made me a birthday trifle. What I love about the trifle is that it's like a cake, but without all the rules. You just layer in whatever you like, scoop it out, and eat it out of a bowl. You could put in cake whole or broken up. Is the cake too dry? Who cares! The other stuff will moisten it up. You don't have to even have to worry about structural integrity. Your cake could topple or fall apart when you cut it, but as long as your trifle bowl holds everything, you're in super-sweet heaven.
This particular trifle didn't even contain cake. It had layers of Oreos, brownies, chocolate pudding, banana pudding, and Cool Whip. And therein lies the beauty of the trifle--no recipe required. You only need an ingredient list.

I love trifle because it is so easy and open-ended...and yet so rich, fattening and delicious. There's like, so much more creamy / frosting-y stuff in a trifle than in a cake! Happy Birthday!
