About

My husband and I are involved in a car club, every year the club gets together for a Thanksgiving pot luck dinner. Our first year in attendance we were asked to bring a dessert and I was very thrilled because dessert making is one of my most favorite things to do. I wanted something that would be large enough to feed a crowd, I then recalled seeing Paula Deen make a trifle that looked amazing and it just screamed Thanksgiving. So I thought I would give it a shot and I was amazed that this dessert was such a big hit. I have been making it now for 3 years and every year at least 1-2 new people ask for the recipe. I give Paula all the credit for this fabulous dish but we did make a few changes from the original recipe and it is a great dessert that everyone simply loves.
