Strawberry Shortcake Trifle #SecretRecipeClub

A perfect dessert for your summer parties is this delicious Strawberry Shortcake Trifle. It is quick, delicious, and will be a big hit at your gathering!

This post is part of a series from a group called the Secret Recipe Club.  We are assigned a blogger where we go and look through the posts, looking and trying recipes from the blog.  I was given the blog An Affair from the Heart.

When I was visiting Michaela's site, An Affair from the Heart, I had no difficulty picking a recipe since it is May, and time for thinking about Memorial Day picnics.  Her Red, White, and Blue Strawberry Shortcake Trifle sounded delicious and easy, two things I like!  Such a great recipe to share with The Secret Recipe Club readers!

What's the Secret Recipe Club?  It's a group of bloggers who love to cook and share recipes on a monthly basis.  Each month we are assigned to a food blog where we explore to our hearts content, then choose a recipe to duplicate.  On Reveal Day, we find out who had our blog and what they chose to make!

As I was checking out the blog, I found these other delights, too!  These Bacon Cheeseburger Meatballs will definitely make it to a Tiger Tailgate or two this fall!  I am huge fan of eggnog so these Frosted Eggnog Cookies are already on my list for Christmas.

I loved reading about Michaela.  She's married to her sweetheart and she's the mother of four, with a set of twins!  She loves everything about the creating of a party, and her blog is full of great information from food, to tablescaping and invites!

Here is my version of the Strawberry Short Cake Trifle.
