Lemon Trifle Cream:
- Beat together the cream cheese with sugar on medium speed until creamy and smooth, make sure to stop and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.

- Repeat with the remaining ingredients, switching strawberries for blueberries in the next layer.
- Repeat again, this time: cake, syrup, cream, lemon curd only if you still have some left, and garnish with berries. Make a star using blueberries, add raspberries around it, and after that the sliced strawberries.
