Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle

So........ this is the first time I have ever made a trifle.
It was totally not as hard as I thought It would be.
I'm kind of proud of myself!
Not the prettiest, without all the garnish on top.........but who needs that!
It's the taste that counts!!

Ingredients:

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened (I used Nuefachel)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream (I used light)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 tub (12 oz) Cool Whip, thawed (I used light)
4 tablespoons sugar
1 angel food cake, torn into bite-size pieces
2 bags frozen strawberries (I used 3 tubs fresh)

Method:
1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until fluffy; add sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and the almond extract; set aside.
2. Fold the cool whip into the cream cheese mixture.
3. Gently stir in cake pieces; set aside.
4. Combine strawberries and sugar, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
5. Layer in a large glass bowl, with strawberries on the bottom, and end with cream cheese mix.

6. Top with thin layer of cool whip.
7. Cover with plastic wrap; and chill several hours.

Braden's First Scout Blue and Gold Banquet

We had fun making Braden's cake for his first Blue and Gold Banquet!

The theme was to be about any state in the U.S.

We did a beehive, of course, because we live in the beehive state.

Isn't he handsome!!

Fun!
