This vibrant and colorful spring dessert is made with layers of funfetti cake, creamy vanilla pudding and Cool Whip. It's easy to make, fun to eat and a sweet dessert enjoyed by all.
Bake the cake according to package directions, with parchment paper inside the pan for easy removal. After 10 minutes of the cake being out the oven, remove it from the pan and place on a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, cut the cake into 1-inch pieces.
Prepare the pudding according to package directions, keeping each package of pudding in a separate bowl. Add a few drops of blue food coloring to one bowl, then add a few drops of pink food coloring to the other bowl. Be sure to only add a little at a time until you get the desired color.
Tightly place one layer of cake cubes in the bottom of the trifle dish or large glass bowl (fit as much cake as you can to not have gaps). Spoon one of the bowls of pudding over the top of the cake. Now spoon in 2 cups of the Cool Whip over the pudding.
Repeat with another layer of cake, the other color of pudding, then 2 more cups of Cool Whip.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Make bird nests (2 of each color) from the edible candy grass. Do this by holding a half-inch thick group of grass and spin the grass tightly in a circle starting with one end.
Before serving, decorate the top of the trifle with 6 birds nests and add 3 candy eggs into each nest.
