Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two round cake pans. Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions, combining eggs, oil, and water. Divide the batter into four bowls and tint each with different food colors. Pour into pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
  2. Slice the cooled cakes into cube-sized pieces, ensuring distinct colorful cake layers for the trifle.
  3. Combine pudding mix with cold milk in a mixing bowl and whisk for 2 minutes until thick. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. In a trifle dish or large bowl, layer the cake cubes, then pudding, followed by whipped topping, repeating until the dish is filled.
  5. Spread remaining whipped topping over the top, then decorate with mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and optional flowers.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to meld flavors and set layers.
