Tim's Strawberry Trifle

Makes the fitting end to your party and your day.  Make it the day before because it is even better when the flavors have a chance to blend and it gets good and cold in the fridge.  This desert takes about 4 hours to make so you won't be tossing it together at the last minute.  It is also pretty labor intensive so you can't be playing the host and trying to get it made.  Once it is made expect plenty of compliments because it is an impressive piece of work.
