Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and divide into bowls; add various pastel food coloring.
  2. Pour the colored batters into greased cake pans and bake for about 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack and cut into cubes.
  3. Whisk instant pudding mix with specified milk amount until smooth and thick, about 2–3 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes.
  4. Layer cake cubes in a large trifle bowl, followed by pudding and a dollop of whipped topping. Repeat until layers reach the top, finishing with whipped topping.
  5. Decorate the top layer with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers to enhance the festive feel.
  6. Chill the assembled trifle for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and layers to hold shape.
