I've never made a trifle before, but this recipe made it easy. It turned out beautifully, and it was a big hit with my family.

This trifle was a disaster! The sponge cake was soggy, the custard was lumpy, and the berries were sour.

I'm not a big fan of trifles, but this one was actually pretty good. The sponge cake was moist and flavorful, and the custard was smooth and creamy.

This trifle was a bit too sweet for me, but it was still enjoyable. I think I'll try making it with less sugar next time.

I thought this trifle was just okay. The sponge cake was a bit dry, and the custard was too eggy for my taste.

I used frozen berries in my trifle, and they worked just fine. I also added a layer of chocolate ganache, which was a delicious addition.
