These punch bowl cake cups are a fun
variation to the punch bowl cake dessert that we all enjoyed many years ago.

Punch Bowl Cake Cups are a delicious variation to the original punch bowl cake. Made in parfait cups for an easier dessert to enjoy.I have been making retro desserts with my grandchildren, and last week I made them the famous punch bowl cake.  We decided that it is a little too messy after someone digs into it, so I tried making it today in individual cups.

Punch Bowl CakeThese are a delicious variation to the original punch bowl cake. Made in parfait cups for an easier dessert to enjoy.

The original punch bowl cake was layers of cake, pudding, fruit or pie filling, and cool-whip.  It was made in a punch bowl or trifle dish.  It does look pretty and is easy to transport to an event.  It is not so pretty after people start digging into it.

 

I found these cute little  plastic glasses at a local craft store.
They are 9 oz  and are square.

Prepare some different puddings; vanilla, lemon, and coconut cream.

Clean a variety of fresh fruit and line it up on a tray.
Mine were raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.
I also set out a can of cherry pie filling.

I purchased a package of pound cake at the store that had a variety of vanilla, lemon, and blueberry  cake in it.  This is an easy way to
have a variety of cake.  Cut each slice of cake into 1/4 inch cubes.
For these, I used 4 slices of each kind of cake.

Use cool-whip or Dream Whip in the layers.

These cups are a fun project to do with your children or grandchildren.  Just line everything up and let them create their
favorite variations.  The amounts do not have to be accurate, just make sure it doesn’t run over the cups.

These dessert cups would be good to serve at a summertime party.

I just started with a layer of cake, pudding, fruit, cool-whip and then repeated the layer.  Try creating different varieties.

It was fun to be creative and mix different fruits, cakes, and the
puddings.  I made 15 cups from my ingredients, but it would vary
depending on how much of each ingredient you put in the cup.
