Instructions
  1. Prepare the cake batter according to the package directions. Divide it into portions and tint each with different pastel food coloring. Bake each colored portion until done, then cool completely and cut into cubes.
  2. Whisk the pudding mix with milk until smooth and thick. Chill until ready to use.
  3. In a large clear trifle bowl, layer the cake cubes, pudding, and whipped topping. Repeat until the bowl is full, ending with whipped topping. Decorate with chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers.
  4. Refrigerate the trifle for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors blend together.
