  Have you got a recipe for Low Cal English Trifle?  Just in case---
  (Takes up to two days to prepare properly)
  Break angel cake in medium size pieces, spread each with small amount of
  Raspberry Jam, arrange in straight sided glass bowl.  Pour over the sherry
  and weight down lightly with saucer and cover with plastic wrap, set aside
  for a few hours.  After sherry has been absorbed, mix Jello according to
  directions, do not use ice.  Pour over cake and sherry in the bowl. Cover
  and place in refrigerator for several hours or overnight until jello is
  set.  Before serving, prepare Vanilla Pudding mix and pour over top of
  jello, using a knife to slide down sides of bowl to allow some of the
  pudding to go down sides.  Cover and chill again. Garnish with cherries and
  mint, or use some of the candied holiday fruits to decorate top of bowl.
  When serving, be sure to slide spoon to the bottom of the bowl for each
  serving, not only for the colors of the different layers, but to be sure
  each serving gets the flavor of the sherry. Top with a small dollop of Cool
  Whip Lite.
  If you're not watching sugar content or calories, the same recipe can be
  made with regular jam, regular jello and regular pudding mix. Looks best in
  a straight sided glass bowl.  This has been a family favorite for Christmas
  since my childhood.
