I think I'm a week + a day late on this recipe. We're busy this summer and it seems like when we have a free day, I just wanna be lazy and not do too many extras. One of my favorite lazy-day activities, so far, has been watching the Star Wars movies because my kids had never seen any of the movies and 2 of the 6 were new to me too. I think #2 is my fave, but we still need to watch #5 & #6.
I wanted to try this recipe, but I also wanted to make it as quick & easy (& mess-free) as possible. Instead of rolling my cake to make a roulade, I just cut my cake into bite-size pieces and turned my dessert into a trifle. I like raspberries better than blueberries, but I decided to stick to the recipe and try the blueberries ... they were great with the recipe. I also drizzled a tiny bit of orange juice over my cake pieces which added another flavor to the mix and sweetened the cake a little. I walked away from my heavy cream while it was whipping, so it got a little well-done. Kinda ugly looking, but it still tasted good.
Overall I give this recipe 4 out of 5 stars. I didn't love the cake. It was good, but I'd probably try this with a different cake recipe next time.

How do you only show a few lines of your post in google reader and not all the information? I'd let to set my blog up like that.
I haven't made this yet, but your trifle (and someone else's parfait) are making me want to skip the roulade part of it!

I like your idea of adding the drizzle of OJ & I think that wherever fresh blueberries are involved, it's hard to go wrong :-)
I love the idea of a trifle…these ingredients lend themselves so well for this type of dessert! Blueberries and cream…what could be better!
Yum. I haven't made this yet. Looks so good!!!

I'd always pick cake over barley ;) Great idea to make a trifle!
