I love that you made them individual! I am a sucker for a dessert shooter and a trifle is so pretty! I love them because they are easy but I have to say that once people start digging into that large bowl it looks so messy. Having an individual one is so much better (not sharing) and better looking for sure!
Thank you so much Jennifer! Yes, I like having my own, I am not good at sharing when it comes to desserts 🙂
Great site, really good writing:-)! I really enjoy your blog. I’m waiting for more. Best regards!
