2. Start by cutting the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes.
3. Create the first layer by adding a third of the cake cubes to the bottom of the trifle bowl.
4. Top the cake with half of the whipped cream, spreading it evenly.
5. Next, add half of the prepared berries, making sure they are evenly distributed.
6. Pour half of the vanilla pudding over the berries, creating a smooth layer.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 to create another layer of cake, whipped cream, berries, and pudding.
8. Finally, top the trifle with the remaining cake cubes, whipped cream, and berries.

Tips:
