from a disaster per se -- tried a new recipe sister gave me...I substituted frozen lemonade concentrate for water in a lemon cake mix to make lemonade cake...well, had a bad baking experience - one layer got overdone while the other was a bit underdone - when I tried to unpan the underdone it fell into pieces -- so I threw both in a ziploc and into the freezer...
Month later, have to go to a family picnic -- hot here in Arizona so was thinking of yummy cool things...came up with the attached...
Summertime Trifle!! The layers consist of lemonade cake, fresh whipped cream, and vanilla pudding -- topped with white chocolate chips and yellow sprinkles!
This was probably the lightest - coolest - tangiest thing I've tasted in a while! Was great on the hot afternoon - family consumed it so fast I barely got to try it!!!
Enjoy! Thanks for looking - Lisanne
What a fantastic idea for cake trimmings! Sounds quick, easy, and delicious to put together when you have a bag of frozen cake pieces on hand. I will definatly make a note of this idea! What a yummy idea!

That does sound wonderful! I wouldn't mind having the recipe as well! 
I'll post the recipe here -- there really isn't one....
the lemonade cake is merely taking a lemon cake mix and where the mix calls for water you substitute thawed frozen lemonade concentrate. I followed the mix instructions for everything else.
The trifle is put together as follows...starting at the bottom of the trifle bowl...crumbled cake, vanilla pudding, whipped cream (I use stabilized whip cream from Wilton site it holds up better), crumbled cake, vanilla pudding, whipped cream, etc. until you reach the top -- I like to end with whipped cream it looks prettier -- I then put some white chocolate chips on top and yellow sprinkles to dress it up a bit!
Yummy!

Wow, what a great idea! I would never have thought to make a trifle with a lemon cake....sounds tasty! And you're right, nice and cool and tangy I bet!
I've used scraps for trifles, but they were always chocolate stuff with pudding. And I never do them except in fall and winter. Great idea!
Thanks for sharing! I love this site!
What a great idea! I make triffles, but usually it is always chocolate.
Maybe your cake had too much liquid in it?? I tried a yellow cake mix that I added pina colada mix to it and it was good, but almost fell apart beacause of all the liquid.
Lisanne, Great idea! You made it easy for yourself for the family picnic because you didn't have to turn on the oven to bring the dessert!
Some of the best recipes are happy accidents. Your trifle looks cool, refreshing and delish!!! Wish I had a scoop!! 
Sounds Yummy! Can't wait to try it.. I'll have to get one of those clear things you have your cake displayed in.
Looks like something I can stand to bake in 100° weather
sounds great, I make one with strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of july (red white and blue theme) but I bet fruit would go well with the Lemonade cake as well! My family always goes nuts for Trifles, but I have only made them as summertime treats...never thought about doing a chocolate version for fall/winter. Great ideas all!
I wish they would have saved dome for me!!! It looks absolutely wonderful!
looks and sounds good.
I wonder if you could have added a bit of flour to your mix to make it not quite so moist...I really don't know...I have problems when I try to make things up (I'm a newbie to cake decorating), but it wouldn't hurt to try.
