Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

I couldn't find strawberry glaze in two stores I went to. I opted to use strawberry sundae topping as a substitute. I didn't get to taste this because the bowl was empty by the time I got there. That means it looked good and was appealing to the 50 people at the event. I plan to make it again soon so I can have some. :) I'm giving it the high rating since I came home with an empty bowl.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I just fixed this trifle over the weekend for my husband's 50th high school reunion and it was gone in no time! Everybody thought it was beautiful and delicious, plus one man even gave me his business card so I could send him a copy of the recipe since he liked it so much!It was so easy to make and as my husband kept saying, "it's too pretty to eat!"

I substituted the frosting with chocolate pudding and it was awesome! This will be the 2nd year in a row I will be making this for a Christmas Eve party because it was such a hit last year!

This is absolutely fabulous. So easy to make. I made the cake the night before and threw everything together the next day. Rave reviews. Definitely a keeper.

I have made this previously from your Quick Cooking book and it is absolutely fabulous! It is so simple. Everybody can't get enough of it and I'm planning on making it again real soon. I have also enjoyed making other trifle recipes. They look big and complicated but they are actually really easy and very delicious.

This was a wonderful Trifle! However, I used a Sugar-free glaze to cut some calories. You could not tell as this was just as tasty as if I had used the regular strawberry glaze.T. K. from PA
