Tips:

Jello and Pudding Layer: To achieve the best results, it's crucial to use the right amount of water as specified in the recipe. Using too much or too little water can affect the texture and consistency of the jello and pudding layers.
Dissolve Jello Properly: Ensure that the jello powder is completely dissolved in boiling water before mixing it with the cold water. This will prevent any lumps from forming and ensure a smooth texture.
Chill Layers Thoroughly: After pouring each layer, allow it to chill completely before pouring the next layer. This will prevent the layers from mixing together and ensure a clean separation between them.
Garnish Generously: Once the cake is fully set, garnish it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or sprinkles to add a pop of color and flavor.
Storage: The cake should be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Cover it tightly to prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods.
