So, my aunt is having a dessert contest at her next party on August 9th, and I've been trying to find a good dessert to make. Although the most popular desserts seem to be chocolate, I'm not a big fan of chocolate on hot summer days, so I was looking for something that is cool and refreshing. Maybe something with strawberries. There is a strawberry dessert that I make often that is always a hit, but it's something my family has all had before.
Or I could do a cold chocolate, like a pudding. But not a cake - I don't think cakes really go over well either.
Or a lemon dessert - that's refreshing. Citrus.
Can I make something that has been made before? I'm not sure that is a good idea. A tried and true? Or a new and unique? Any opinions?

I have a fantastic lemon bar recipe... but its at home. I'll try and send it to you later!
What about a trifle with angel food cake instead of lady fingers, fresh whipped cream, banana pudding and assorted berries? It's easy, delicious and summery.
Presentation is considered in the contest too so a trifle would be quite the right thing if you could put all his favorite tastes in it. I know he loves butterfingers. Peanutbutter and chocolate too. Oh, the calories these desserts are going to have!! Good luck, I may be competing too.
So! What did you decide, and how did it come out? Tasteful minds want to know!! {:-)
