  Starting with the cake squares, layer the trifle in the following order: 1. On the bottom, place cake squares so they cover the bottom of your dish. 2. Pour your fruit cocktail over the cake, along with 1/2 the juice. If the cake looks dry, add more. You can substitute alcohol for the juice if there are no children. 3. Put the red jello in and spread it across the fruit. It will fill in and will set with the fruit. 4. Wait about 10 minutes and add the green jello on top of the red. 5. Give the jello about and hour to set and then add the custard/pudding, spreading it across the green jello. 6. After the custard.pudding has settled, add the whipped cream and top with green and red sprinkles.
