When you’re a kid, what are some of the days that bring a smile to your face?  Birthdays and summer days, perhaps?  Well then wouldn’t a summer birthday be the ultimate day for a child (or the child in you)? 
Okay, now that we’ve decided the ultimate day, what is a definite “must” for any party?  Yup, you guessed it, the birthday cake!  Well, to me summertime birthday cakes are truly special because they can either have a fun beachy theme, contain fresh fruits/berries, contain ice cream, or just be plain fun!  The one thing they must have is cake and Betty Crocker is definitely one of my go-to boxed cake mixes!  I’d like to start off by sharing a quick and super yummy individual trifle you can make that’s great for those hot summer birthday parties.

Individual Lemon Blueberry Trifles

Doesn’t this look absolutely delish?  And it’s super easy too!  Here’s what you need.

  • 1 box Betty Crocker yellow cake mix (plus eggs, oil and water)
  • 2 packages instant lemon pudding and pie filling (plus milk)
  • 2 8-oz tubs of frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • clear drink glasses

Following the directions on the back of the box of cake mix, prepare your cake (cooking in a 9×13 pan).  Let cool.   Once your cake is completely cool, cut in to small, bite-sized squares.

Prepare your pudding mix according to your package directions and place in the refrigerator until thick and ready to use.  Then gently fold in your two containers of whipped topping so that you create an air lemony mousse.

Rinse your blueberries.  Now, all that is left to do is assemble all your ingredients.

Take a clear cup (I used a disposable drinking cup) layer your ingredients:  cake, then mousse, then blueberries, and repeat.  Doesn’t it look super yummo?

This is just my personal take on what a fun summer birthday cake would be.  Go HERE to see amazing cakes like watermelon cake, flip flip cake, s’mores cake and more!  I’d also like to share this super fun info graphic on how to make ice cream cone birthday cakes!

So are you ready to par-tay?  Trust me, if you start off with a Betty Crocker cake mix, your summer celebration will be a huge success!
