Lemon Berry Trifle

This is the showstopper that requires no baking if you use store-bought pound cake. Layer it in a glass trifle bowl and people think you spent all day on it — you spent maybe 25 minutes. Lemon curd, fresh berries, whipped cream, and cubed cake. It's genuinely beautiful and genuinely delicious.
