MICHAEL SCHWARTZ CHAIRMAN OF LADERA RANCH’S SMARTSTOP ASSET MANAGEMENT, WINNER IN 2016 AMERICAN BUSINESS AWARDS
H. Michael Schwartz, chairman & CEO of Smartstop Asset Management, Inc., a diversified real estate company, was recently named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the Executive of the Year category in The 14th Annual American Business Awards. “I am truly honored to have won this award and to be listed among the top business organizations and individuals in the United States,” said Schwartz. “I couldn’t have won this award without my executive team’s expertise, loyalty and determination.” The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit nominations – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word meaning “crowned,” the awards will be presented to winners at a gala ceremony at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York on Monday, June 20. More than 3,400 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Startup
of the Year, Executive of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Live Event of the Year, and App of the Year, among others. Schwartz was nominated in the Executive of the Year category for Real Estate. More than 250 professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to select this year’s Stevie Award winners. “Mr. Schwartz is definitely worthy of this top honor,” said one of the Stevie Award judges. “His incredible business success story, from start to finish, is quite an accomplishment.” Last year, Schwartz and his team negotiated the sale of SmartStop Self Storage, Inc. (SmartStop Self Storage), a fully integrated, selfadministered and self-managed self storage company, owning and/or operating 170 self storage properties in 21 states and Toronto, Canada, to Extra Space Storage, Inc., the second-largest storage operator in the United States, for $1.4 billion. The SmartStop Self Storage and Extra Space merger marked the largest self storage transaction in 10 years and the 3rd largest self storage transaction of all time. “The judges were extremely

impressed with the quality of entries we received this year,” said Michael Gallagher, president and founder of the Stevie Awards. “The competition was intense and every organization
that has won should be proud.” Details about The American Business Awards and the list of 2016 Stevie winners are available at www. StevieAwards.com/ABA.

The Environmental Protection Agency has named indoor air quality as one of the top five environmental risks to public health citing research that indoor air may be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside. With Americans spending 90 percent of their time indoors, purifying indoor air is paramount to keeping families healthy - especially those with family members suffering from asthma and allergies. “Poor indoor air quality has been linked to a host of health issues such as headaches, dry eyes, nasal congestion, nausea, fatigue, heart disease and chronic respiratory disease,” says Chris Chase, product marketing manager at Aprilaire. “For individuals that suffer from asthma or allergies, air particles such as pollen, dust and dust mites are known triggers for asthma attacks and allergic reactions.” More than 25 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma
and 50 million suffer from allergies. Dust alone is comprised of dead insects, dust mites, mold spores, pollen, dander, skin flakes and other particulates that can be harmful to health. Controlling indoor air quality can provide relief for asthma and allergy sufferers and protect your family from getting sick. You can improve indoor air quality with two simple steps: * Prevent irritants from entering the house. Take measures to make sure dust, dirt and other pollutants are prevented from entering the house. Simple activities like removing shoes before entering the household, closing windows during high pollen days and not allowing smoking indoors help keep dirt and other irritants from entering the household. * Install a whole-home air purification system. A whole-home air purification system is installed as part of the central heating and cooling system to capture and eliminate
airborne contaminants. Whole-home air purification systems remove up to 98 percent of airborne contaminants down to one micron in size and are 40 times more efficient than a standard furnace filter. Each time the air system runs, the whole-home air purification system removes dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, pollen, viruses, fungi, mold and other dangerous substances from the air throughout the entire home, rather than just the air in the immediate vicinity like a portable air cleaner. Other important considerations include maintaining humidity levels as well as proper ventilation; especially if your home is newer or has been recently updated with tighter materials for more energy efficiency. For more information on wholehome air purification and total control of your indoor air quality, visit www. aprilaire.com. You can also find Aprilaire on Facebook at Facebook. com/Aprilaire. - (BPT)

Shedding for the wedding: Your 3-month guide The dress, the tux, the guests, the honeymoon - there are so many details that go into your wedding day. All eyes are on you from the moment you walk down the aisle until the last dance of the night. Understandably so, brides and grooms often feel a lot of pressure to look their best on this important day - there’s nothing like a wedding to motivate you to get serious about your health and fitness goals. But crash diets or extreme exercise programs are never the answer. “It’s usually best to start thinking about your specific goals three months before your wedding day to allow plenty of time to establish your routine and adjust to a healthier lifestyle,” says Steve Bronston, certified personal trainer with Life Time, a healthy way of life company that operates more than 115 health and wellness centers nationwide. “This creates a great opportunity for the bride and groom to support each other and get in shape together.” Bronston and Life Time offer a three-month countdown plan to get
you ready for the big day: Weeks 1-4 Focus on changing your unhealthy habits. Nutrition is key when trying to lose weight, decrease body fat and increase your overall health. Work with a professional to lay out a detailed nutrition plan that consists of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats at each meal. Then, begin with a fitness program that incorporates weight training and cardio intervals. Arm exercises like overhead press, tricep push-ups and bicep curls, and back exercises like rows and rear flys help brides looking to tone up for a strapless or low-back dress. Bronston suggests starting with two or three days of weight training, two or three days of cardio and one day of Pilates or yoga. Weeks 5-8 Now it’s time to switch up your exercise routines. It’s a good idea to work with a personal trainer or join a group fitness class once or twice a week to shake up your routine and stay motivated. Your workouts should include one to two weight training
OC MUSIC CENTER
exercises per body part throughout the week. If you can, try to shift the amount of weight you use and number of repetitions you do to help stimulate change within your body. Continue a cardio routine of two to three days per week and add in another day or Pilates or yoga. Weeks 9-12 It is important to keep up with your developing healthy habits as the weeks progress, but as your wedding day approaches, you’re sure to feel
the stress of planning. “A new focus on rest and relaxation during this time period is key,” Bronston says. You can eat well and exercise perfectly, but without sleep, stretching, rest and recovery, your body is at risk of not functioning properly. Planning a wedding can be stressful and tiresome, but if you commit to a healthy diet and fitness plan, you’ll walk down the aisle feeling confident and ready for your new life ahead. (BPT)

Turn over a new leaf this season with a home energy makeover As the seasons change, turn over a new leaf and give your home an energy makeover. You can improve your home’s comfort while helping the environment by making your home more energy efficient, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In addition, a variety of compatible technologies are available to help manage your home’s comfort systems more efficiently and economically. Here are some tips to get you started. Schedule an overall home energy audit: How does your energy use at home measure up? Annual analysis of home energy efficiency can save you money in the long run and ensure your home runs smoothly. A certified energy auditor will complete an energy analysis of your home by measuring windows and checking insulation, ductwork and building materials. You can identify local certified professional energy assessment services through Residential Energy Services Network. Taking five minutes with energy bills at hand, you can also input your information online at Home Energy Yardstick by Energy Star to receive a topline home energy analysis. Improve comfort while staying efficient: Up to 72 trillion allergens find their way into your home every day. Not only can dirty air make your family less comfortable, but
it can also pose problems for how efficiently your systems continue to work. By installing a reliable indoor air cleaner, you can remove irritating particles such as dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus and bacteria, which can slow the performance of your overall heating and cooling system. For example, an energy-efficient model, such as the AccuClean from American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning, an Ingersoll Rand brand, removes up to 99.98 percent of allergens down to 0.1 micron in size, making it 100 times more effective than a standard one-inch throwaway filter. Adjust your thermostat: Another way to manage home energy is to simply adjust your thermostat. For every degree you raise your thermostat in the summer, you can cut cooling costs up to 6 percent, and for every degree you lower your thermostat in the winter, you can save about 3 percent. (Potential energy savings may vary, depending on such factors as your lifestyle, system settings, equipment maintenance, local climate, equipment and duct systems.) A programmable thermostat is loaded with a multitude of built-in sensors, reminders and alerts, and it allows you to program as many as four energy-saving schedules for every day of the week, to reduce
energy consumption up to 15 percent. Manage energy efficiency from anywhere, even while you’re away: For the ultimate in convenience, you can even monitor and adjust your home’s ecosystem from anywhere using most Web-enabled mobile devices. For instance, Nexia Home Intelligence, also a brand of Ingersoll Rand, combines wireless technology with simple Web access. You can use it to reduce energy consumption and costs by putting your heating and cooling system into an energy savings mode while you’re not there, plus control numerous other functions to manage the comfort, safety and efficiency of your home while you’re away.
Choose energy efficient products: If you’re looking for new energy-efficient products such as doors, heating and cooling systems and windows, ensure they are labeled with the Energy Star designation. The EPA’s Energy Star program was created to reduce the nation’s energy consumption. For more information on reducing energy use, visit www.epa.gov/greenhomes/ ReduceEnergy.htm. By taking steps to give your home an energy makeover, you’ll not only keep your family more comfortable, but you’ll also save money by streamlining home operations - so you can spend more time enjoying the seasons. - (BPT)
EPA wrong to reduce public notices, news organizations say The Coto de Caza News joined CNPA and 42 news organizations and the Public Notice Resource Center to offer comments on the Environmental Protection Agency’s intention to reduce the public notice it provides in connection with most Clean Air Act actions. The EPA’s intent is to eliminate the requirement that the notices run in local newspapers near the potential sources of pollution EPA is planning to approve. The EPA based its proposal on the mistaken assumption that citizens affirmatively seek public notices and will regularly visit its website to learn about its plans, the PNRC noted. The comments also emphasize that for over 200 years, lawmakers have required public notices to be published in newspapers because they offer the best opportunity to reach local, civically engaged readers who are most likely to have a personal interest in the plans and activities described in the notices. “If EPA moves forward with this proposal, it will increase the likelihood that the people who stand to feel the greatest impact from its decisions will be left in the dark until it’s too late,” said Bradley L. Thompson II,
president of PNRC. “The Agency’s determination to inform citizens about its plans by posting notices in obscure corners of its website isn’t sufficiently transparent. It is especially unfortunate when pollsters tell us people are suspicious of Washington.
Keeping these notices local in places where readers will find them is a good way to combat public cynicism.” PNRC is a nonprofit organization that provides research and public education materials on the use of public notice in newspapers. It is
supported by contributions from newspaper organizations throughout the U.S., including CNPA. Elsewhere: Public notices from CNPA-member newspapers are aggregated and searchable at CaPublicNotice.com.

Trend in nostalgic nosh brings new flavor to fine dining
Seasoned tots with your filet mignon? Fries with parmesan cheese and truffle oil? But of course. Comfort foods with sophisticated flair are plated in abundance at the finest restaurants around the country, as chefs reinvent potato sides like fries and tots with new dips, toppings and custom spice blends. Excitement continues to build as these nostalgic dishes from the kiddie table can now be found making their way to grownups’ plates. In fact, Bon Appetit touted the “Return of the Tot” earlier this year and Business Insider, recently named fries the new “it” menu item for upscale New York City restaurants in 2013.

4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 cup spring peas (frozen peas can be substituted) 1 large head butter lettuce, leaves separated Directions: To prepare the chicken, preheat the oven to 350 F. Season the chicken cavity with plenty of salt and pepper; stuff the lemon halves, garlic, thyme and bay leaves inside. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine. Drizzle the skin with olive oil and rub all over; season with plenty of salt and pepper. Place the chicken breast-side up in a roasting pan; roast for 1 hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 F. Let the chicken rest 15 minutes before
carving. While the chicken is roasting, prepare the lettuce and peas. Combine the wine, red onion, bay leaf, peppercorns and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; simmer over medium heat until the mixture is syrupy and just coats the bottom of the pan. Whisk in the butter cubes, a few at a time, to thicken the sauce and give it a shine. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm. (Remove the peppercorns and bay leaf before serving.) Place the peas in a small pot of salted boiling water until heated through; drain. Toss the peas, lettuce and warm butter sauce in a bowl until the lettuce wilts slightly. - (BPT)

Girl Scouts Build Bridge at Voice for Girls 2016 Photos by Ann Chatillon A packed room of 180 Orange County business and community leaders rallied together with local Girl Scouts at the Pacific Club in Newport Beach for a much-needed conversation about generational gaps in today’s workforce. Professionals are finding themselves managing teams from four different generations - each with unique strengths, weaknesses, needs, and attitudes – and the gaps are only growing in size as more baby boomers work past retirement and more tech-native millennials graduate. The 5th Annual Voice for Girls event provided attendees with a foundation for understanding and navigating multi-generational work relationships and also inspired participants to prepare their own organizations and the communities they lead to welcome and embrace the contributions of the next generation entering the workforce. Voice for Girls 2016 featured a keynote address by acclaimed psychologist, author, and generational speaker Dr. Rita M. Murray, an interactive table exercise, and a panel of Girl Scouts ages 15 - 18. Dr. Murray kicked off the morning by sharing how the era we are born in shapes the way we communicate and the words we use affect how we engage with one another. Attendees were then introduced to four generations active in today’s workplace –Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials – and given background on events that shaped each generation’s perspectives and how they relate to the work environment. Following the keynote, attendees participated in an interactive table exercise led by Dr. Murray. Each table was given a generation to describe by their positive attributes. Among many qualities, the audience reported Traditionalists as having a strong work ethic with expertise and insight that is often undervalued, Baby Boomers as being adaptable consensus builders with high political savvy, Generation X as tech-forward trail blazers who value efficiency, social responsibility, and creativity, and Millennials who are adaptive, flexible, and have high emotional intelligence. The table exercise was the perfect segue into the all-Girl Scout panel, speaking on behalf of the next generation of girls entering the workforce. Panelists Katelyn Keen (18) of Laguna Niguel, Jessica Kent (17) of Huntington Beach, Phoebe Logier (16) of Anaheim, Sharleen Loh (15) of Placentia, and Rebeca Sofia Oropeza (16) of Yorba Linda “wowed” the audience with insights into their accomplishments – such as Katelyn’s publication of a children’s book Kids Go Green, comfort level with technology – Sharleen’s use of Genome Editing search and design tool CRISPR, and future aspirations – Jessica’s desire to pursue a career in sustainable energy sources. The audience also received rare insight into the heart of why the panelists have remained in Girl Scouts into their older years – as Jessica Kent put it best, Girl Scouts gave her an environment where anything is possible, where she could “try so many things” and “find her niche.” Voice for Girls attendees took away new strategies to enhance their communications across generations in the workforce and left inspired to carry on the work of Girl Scouts by creating dynamic work environments where these bright and talented young women, and the over 21,000 Girl Scouts across Orange County who join them, can thrive when they enter the workforce. The Girl Scouts is about 36,000 strong, more than 21,000 girls and nearly 15,000 adults who believe every girl can change the world. Girl Scouts began over 100 years ago with one woman, Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low, who believed` in the power of every girl. Today, they continue her vision of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place by helping them discover their inner strength, passions, and talents. And with programs in every zip code in Orange County, there’s a chance for every girl to do something amazing. For more information, visit www.GirlScoutsOC.org. Page 12

Your Credit Score: Updates You Should Know By Jason Alderman Credit scoring has evolved over the last three decades and this fall, FICO made one more important change. Borrowers who have struggled with medical debt and those with a limited credit history might see better FICO numbers in the future. Even if these situations don’t apply to you, understanding how credit scoring is changing can help you better manage your credit over time. FICO Score 9, rolled out last fall, is described as a more “nuanced” version of the original FICO Score that the leading credit scoring company introduced in 1989. It is offered by three major credit bureaus – Equifax (www.equifax.com), Experian (http:// www.experian.com) and TransUnion. (http://www.transunion.com). It now bypasses collection agency accounts and weighs medical debt differently than non-medical debt on a person’s credit record. Borrowers with a median score of 711 whose only negative credit data comes from medical collections will see their credit score go up 25 points under the new system. As for consumers with limited
credit histories – what the industry calls “thin files” – FICO says the new system will better determine the ability of someone in that situation to repay a debt. What doesn’t FICO 9 address? At this point, the latest credit-scoring model really doesn’t loosen or change requirements for mortgage and refinancing opportunities. Even so, there are many things ordinary borrowers can do to improve their credit scores and overall financial health over time. The first step is for borrowers to review each of their credit reports once a year. Credit reports and credit scores are two different things. Consider credit scores are a threedigit summary of creditworthiness; credit reports are the detailed record of a borrower’s credit history. Consumers can view each of their credit reports from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion once a year for free (www.annualcreditreport.com). Stagger receipt of each agency’s credit reports throughout the year to weed out any inconsistencies, inaccuracies, or worse, indications of fraudulent credit applications or
identity theft. Borrowers are seeing something else that’s new – some lenders are making the credit scores they apply to existing borrowers available for free. A few major lenders have taken part in the industry-only FICO Score Open Access Program, which lets current customers see the exact credit scoring data applied to them at no charge. FICO’s site doesn’t offer the names of participating lenders, but a customer should ask their lender if they are offering free scores through that program. Consumers should know how credit scores are compiled. FICO uses five key ingredients: • Payment history (35 percent) • Amounts owed (30 percent) • Length of credit history (15 percent) • New credit (10 percent) • Types of credit used (10 percent). Visit www.myfico.com for a list of tips for borrowers to improve their scores. Base FICO scores have a 300 to 850 score range, and though FICO doesn’t release what it considers good or bad scores, borrowers with excellent credit typically have scores
in the mid-700s and up. There are ways to preserve and raise existing credit scores. It might be wise for borrowers to ask if they can increase the credit limit on individual accounts while paying down existing balances on those accounts. Smart borrowers generally keep their outstanding balances at 30 percent or less of their available credit limit. Bottom line: Smart credit management starts with an understanding of one’s credit reports and credit scores.
Affordable Burgundy Isn’t an Oxymoron
HAPPY GRAPES
By David White If any grape demands contemplation, it’s Pinot Noir. The great bottles are able to translate time and place, clearly expressing the characteristics of their vintage and the soils and climate in which they’re grown. The greatest examples almost always come from Burgundy, Pinot Noir’s birthplace. But prices for Burgundy’s storied wines have skyrocketed. So many wine enthusiasts simply avoid the entire region, assuming that its wines are priced beyond reach. It doesn’t have to be this way. Many compelling wines from Burgundy don’t break the bank. And finally, some vintners are making an effort to spread this gospel. Amaury Devillard, who helps Page 14
oversee the vineyards and winemaking at five estates with his sister Aurore, is one of them. “Today, you can easily find wines that offer a classic expression of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir at a very fair price,” he explained. “The lesserknown appellations are a hidden gem and represent a tremendous priceto-quality ratio. More than ever, you have beautiful wine for the money.” Devillard, who was chatting with me as a representative the Bourgogne Wine Board, a trade group, had the most praise for the value offered in Rully, Mercurey, and Givry, three villages in the Cote Chalonnaise, a sub-region in Burgundy that’s often overlooked by oenophiles. Wine enthusiasts have always looked to Burgundy for wines of consequence. In the Middle Ages, Cistercian monks began observing different sites and the quality of the resulting wines, isolating specific vineyards over time. An informal classification of vineyards soon emerged, and by the end of the 19th century, the local agricultural board had created a three-tier system for rating the various sites. The French government formalized this ranking in 1936. Today, Burgundy’s vineyards are classified as “Grand
The Ladera Ranch News
Cru,” “Premier Cru,” and “Village.” Wines from unclassified sites are bottled by their regional designation. Just 32 vineyards are classified as “Grand Cru,” and together, the resulting wines comprise less than 5 percent of Burgundy’s total production. Oenophiles worship most of them -- and prices have reached epic proportions. According to Wine-Searcher.com, which aggregates retail wine prices from across the globe, 40 of the 50 most expensive bottles of wine now come from Burgundy. Every wine on that list sells for over $1,000 per bottle. In the auction market, where top Burgundy has long found an audience, prices have increased 43 percent over the past five years. One could argue that top Burgundy is still worth the tariff. Experiences where Pinot Noir achieves the grape’s higher purpose -- translating both time and place -- are few and far between, but always spiritual. The wines that Devillard and I were chatting about can’t really compete with the ones that sell for thousands of dollars per bottle. But they do give a sense of Burgundy’s aspirations. I’d liken it to touring a gorgeous, perfectly manicured garden on a foggy day. You get a sense of how stunning it
would be if the skies were clear. Devillard sees a silver lining to Burgundy’s rising prices. “Now that these wines are more expensive then ever, consumers have the opportunity to discover lesser known appellations,” he said. In addition to Rully, Mercurey, and Givry, Devillard highlighted the wines from Santenay and Marsannay. “When I was 10 years old,” Devillard continued, “I remember my grandfather telling me about a vineyard that would ‘never make good wine.’ He was right because the resulting wines weren’t very good. But he was wrong because it wasn’t a question of terroir -- it was a question of quality. And quality has never been as impressive as it is today.” David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards.

ld-fashioned French Pot ice cream is incredibly dense, creamy and delicious on its own, but you can put a gourmet twist on a family favorite with these fun and easy recipes from Graeter’s Ice Cream.

Immediately roll the edge of the sandwich in chocolate sprinkles. Recipe courtesy of Graeter’s
141 Years of Creaminess In 1870, Louis C. Graeter began making hand-made ice cream in the Queen City, Cincinnati. A tremendous success, the business grew steadily for many years, passing to each successive generation of the family. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, Graeter’s Ice Cream is a beloved tradition, faithfully following the century-old recipes, all-natural and highquality ingredients, and methods of production. The magic behind Graeter’s is the French Pot process. By creating just two gallons at a time and hand-packing each pint, the ice cream is dense and creamy unlike any other. Graeter’s is also famous for the massive chunks of bittersweet chocolate found in its signature chip flavors. Gourmet liquid chocolate is poured into the French Pot just as the ice cream is finishing. The result is velvety smooth chunks of chocolate in every bite.

The Ladera Ranch News
Yield: 8 servings 2 pints Graeter’s Ice Cream of choice, such as Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip 8 mini dessert shells, frozen 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 to 5 eggs) 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Pinch of salt Place ice cream in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper or heavy duty foil, and lightly spray with cooking spray. Line dessert shells on cookie sheet, about two inches apart. Firmly press a scoop of ice cream into each frozen shell. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and freeze for several hours or overnight. For meringue: Whisk together egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, vanilla extract and salt in heatproof bowl. Set bowl in pan of gently simmering water to a warm water bath. Slowly whisk until sugar is dissolved and egg whites are about 110°F. Remove bowl from water bath, and whisk mixture on high speed until stiff, about four to six minutes. Working quickly, use a spoon to spread meringue completely over each ice cream shell, covering it completely. Bake immediately, or freeze. Preheat oven to 500°F, positioning rack in center of oven. Bake until meringue is lightly browned and set, about three minutes. If baking the meringue from a frozen state, it may take one or two minutes longer. Using a wide spatula, immediately transfer onto plates and serve. Recipe courtesy of Graeter’s
Cupcake Fruit Trifles with Vanilla Mascarpone Custard
Yield: 20 trifles 16 ounces mascarpone cheese 1 pint Graeter’s Vanilla Ice Cream, thawed, refrigerated 1 quart heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks 4 to 6 cups of fruit: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or oranges Sprinkle of sugar 20 yellow cupcakes, using recipe of choice, remove liners and cut into equal thirds, horizontally 20 wine or beverage glasses, 6 to 9 ounces Place the mascarpone cheese and ice cream in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Do not over mix. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture, cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble trifles. When ready to assemble trifles, sprinkle fruit with a small amount of sugar, to create a syrupy consistency. To assemble trifle: Place a small amount of custard in bottom of glass. Add some fruit, followed by the bottom third of the cupcake. Continue to layer custard, fruit and cupcake slices, using three cupcake slices per glass. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with fruit just before serving. Note: it is best to make the trifle a few hours before serving, or the day before. Serving idea: Make your presentation extra special with a chocolate-painted glass. 8 ounces Graeter’s bittersweet chocolate sauce, room temperature 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted Combine ingredients until smooth. Place in paper pastry bag or plastic resealable bag. Cut tip of bag and drizzle chocolate on inside of cup. Refrigerate cups to harden chocolate. Fill with trifle as directed.
