individual strawberry shortcake cups

I am definitely NOT a great baker, or cook. In fact, I really don't even enjoy it! But, it's what you do when you are a wife and mom, so I do it. :) For a recent family dinner we had with my husband's side of the family, they asked me to bring the dessert. Lets be honest- I had no idea what I was going to make! My brother in law owns a catering business (Utah Custom Catering) and my sister in law makes cakes and cupcakes. And they wanted me to bring the dessert? Yikes! I thought about bringing a poke cake, or store bought cookies. I really wanted to do something yummy though, so I came up with this fun and easy dessert- Strawberry Shortcake Cups! It was a hit, and everyone was asking for more. I will definitely be making these again. 

Here is what you will need: 

Angel Food Cake

Strawberries

Cool Whip

Vanilla Pudding 

Normally with Strawberry Shortcake you don't use pudding. But I thought adding pudding would make it a little more exciting. 

All I did was take the shortcake and break it up in little pieces. I layered the cake first, then the vanilla pudding, strawberries, more cake, cool whip, and a few strawberries on top. 

I used clear plastic cups so you could see inside of it and to make it look like a trifle. This would also be delicious with chocolate pudding, chocolate cake, oreos, and cherries... That is what I will have to try next. 

Make it and enjoy it!
