1 (14 ounce) premade angel food cake
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (softened)
2/3 cup sugar

Brush lemon glaze on each side of sliced cake.
Cut glazed cake into 1-inch cubes; set aside.

Arrange half the cake on the bottom of a trifle dish.
Sprinkle on an even layer of blueberries.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the blueberries and top with a layer of strawberries.
Repeat layers.
Top with any remaining berries.
