Fruity Labor Day Trifles For Kids

As summer comes to an end, we gather around to celebrate the spirit of Labor Day – a time-honored tribute to hard work. What better way to honor this day than by spending time with your little ones in the kitchen creating a festive and delicious treat? In this blog post, we're excited to share a tasty Labor Day fruit trifle recipe that not only satisfies taste buds but also sparks conversations about the importance of dedication, creativity, and collaboration. Together, let's blend the sweetness of seasonal fruits with the richness of life's lessons, as we savor every spoonful and embrace the joy of togetherness this Labor Day!

Ingredients:

1 box vanilla cake mix
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1 cup blueberries

Directions:

Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the directions on the box. Bake in a 9” x 9” baking pan then allow the cake to cool completely.
While the cake cools, we can prepare the whipped cream and fruit.
To make the whipped cream, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream while gradually adding in the sugar and vanilla. Whip up until the mixture is smooth and fluffy and a cool whip consistency.
Wash and pat dry the strawberries and blueberries. Cut the strawberries into thin slices.
Slice the cooled vanilla cake into small cubes.
You can either assemble one large trifle or several mini ones. Begin by placing a few pieces of vanilla cake to cover the bottom of the trifle dish. Next, top with a layer of whipped cream, then sliced strawberries, more whipped cream, blueberries then top with a dollop of whipped cream and cake on top!
You can get creative with the assembling process and mix up the pattern of layers or add in more fruit and fillings of your choice!

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?
