Could you outline your trifle layering philosophy please.

Normally:

Bought sponge (with jam on)
Sherry / juice
Fruit
Custard
Cream
A cherry

This time, following Nigella's deconstructed trifle:

Lemon cake
soaked in Lemon Syrup
Raspberries
Syllabub - double cream, dry sherry, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, rosewater
Toasted Almonds

Your thoughts?

Not a cream fan - particularly not that foam squirty kind.

Much more a fan of really good custard - not bought ready made, but hand made custard cannot be beaten, maybe with a few sprinkles of hundreds and thousands - but not overboard. Definitley must include raspberries, and not that awful tinned cubed fruit that you get in school trifles.

Others comments?
