Strawberry Angel Food Trifle

This recipe is for my grandma. She recently passed away and I made this to take to her memorial potluck. Two of her favorite desserts were angel food cake and trifles. So, I combined the two to create a recipe I think she would've loved. 

Ingredients:
(3) 3.4oz boxes of cheesecake flavored pudding mix (will also need milk for the pudding - see instructions on box)
(2) 10oz loaves of angel food cake (pre made - I got mine at Walmart)
(3) 8oz tubs of whipped cream
2 lbs fresh strawberries 

Instructions:
- Prepare the pudding as directed on the box
- Cut tops off strawberries and slice them lengthwise (about 5 slices per strawberry)
- Cut the loaves of angel food cake into cubes
- Layer the pudding, cake, whipped cream, then strawberries (in that order) in a clear trifle bowl or large bowl. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are gone/the bowl is full. I stood the strawberries up around the edge of the bowl on each layer to make it look pretty. If you wish, you can finish the top with a design using the strawberries. 
- Refrigerate over night (or for a few hours minimum). Enjoy!
