Hey guys!

My name is Abeer and I blog at CakeWhiz and I am obsessed with baking and cake decorating…. 

And I mean…seriously obsessed! Lol 😛

I am always thinking of new recipes for cakes, cupcakes, cookies and all sorts of yummy goodies…hehe.

I also can’t stop myself from decorating these desserts and making them look pretty 😉

When Raven asked if I could do a guest post for her while she prepares for her big wedding day, I agreed right away.

You see…Raven was one of my first blogger friends that I met through Food Buzz about 3 years ago and we have been friends ever since 😀 

I adoreeeee reading her blog posts and drooling over her delicious recipes and gorgeous pictures 😉

I only hope that the recipe I am sharing today is just as good as the wonderful stuff she shares with all of you 🙂 

So, allow me to present my mini trifle, composed of soft vanilla cake cubes, Nutella and peanut butter frosting, crushed Oreos, strawberry mixture and tonnes of colorful sprinkles! Mmmmmmmmmmmm…..

The nutty flavors of the Nutella/peanut butter frosting and subtle tanginess of the strawberries, along with the “chocolicious” kick from the Oreo cookies are all perfectly balanced!

This trifle has God knows how many calories! But, I think we can indulge in this guilty pleasure, every once in a while…Right??? 😛 hahaha 😉
