Strawberry Lemonade Trifle

A few notes:

• To shortcut the recipe use ready made poundcake instead of homemade.
• To shortcut the recipe further, you can skip the homemade whipping cream and use all Cool Whip. I used a hybrid of both because I didn’t have enough heavy cream on hand. Alternately, you can use all homemade whipping cream by using 3 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of sugar.
