Zero Waste Tips
Booze it up. I don’t add booze since there are usually kids at the table but hey, drizzle in a little kirsch, limoncello, or cognac, especially good when a making trifle with a drier or day old cake
You can make any cake into a trifle and it doesn’t always have to be a huge masterpiece. Mini trifles are super cute for a small intimate gathering.
