Begin by cutting your pre-baked vanilla or pound cake into 1-inch cubes.
Position your mini trifle glasses on a sturdy tray for easy assembly.
Spoon approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of vanilla custard or pudding over the cake layer in each glass.
Take your vibrant mixed berries and add a generous layer atop the custard.
