I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July with family and friends. Summer has finally arrived here and I'm just loving all of the blue skies and sunshine. Life is good!
Dessert is good too...of course. This is a quick and easy...and pretty dessert that is perfect for summer get-togethers. It's especially easy to throw together last minute if you bake a couple of cakes ahead of time and stick them into your freezer. Then you just pull out your cake, cut it up and make layers of fresh fruit of your choice and fresh sweetened whipping cream. I think it looks so nice when layered in a wine or champagne glass.

These look so good and summery :) My daughter loves mangoes, and so I know this would be a hit for her.
Strawberry and mango - two of my favorite fruits! This looks delicious. I love my dessert with lots of fruit.
Yum, so beautiful and delicious.
These trifles look so good! I've really been on a mango kick lately and I want one of these!
So simple and elegant.

Just bought a flat of peaches. They would work great in this too, I think. But do the kidzillas deserve it?????
Julia- Peaches would be awesome too! :)
