Ok, so I love to cook ma own meals, whether it be a Shepherd's Pie, a curry, or a full on Sunday roast. I've even baked a loaf of bread and baked several cakes.
As a man, would you even consider making a trifle though, or is that strictly a woman's domain  |

"Depends. ..will you be using blancmange? It makes all the difference to my answer. .."
Yeah, but it's gotta be pink though, with custard & cream on top with hundreds & thousands on top and some of those little silver balls as well   |

Couldn't bring myself to make a trifle I'm afraid OP.
Mainly because I can't stand them, but also because I just don't get it as a dessert, there are far more enjoyable puds out there in my opinion, like a blueberry cheesecake |

"

If you're doing it properly you need to forget the hundreds and thousands and use glacé cherries and angelica! |

I do all the cooking at home so yes I would have no problem with that.
But
I'm not great at baking. I made a pigs ear of the first few loaves I made and so I avoid it like the plague |

My Dad used to make trifle, he was very particular about how a 'proper' trifle should be.
He was quite the dinosaur as I was growing up (cooking was women's work  ), but late in life discovered a flair for baking and even did a couple of baking courses. |

I have cooked since I was a child, including making trifles and cakes.
Getting married simply saved me from washing up.
I bought a dishwasher.

Amateur cook compared to you, technical question if I may, love making bread but can't get dough to self support it just "collapses" under its own weight, what am I doing wrong, no joy from web! |

"Make a gin and tonic trifle so soak the sponge fingers in gin. And have a swig whilst making it. You'll make a most excellent trifle. "
That's why white wine sauce take me such a long time to perfect   |

I love making trifle and its stupidly easy
Good layer of lady fingers
Put on two drained cans of fruit cocktail (in juice not syrup)
Cover with strawberry jelly then leave to set til firm
Whisk two packets of strawberry angel delight and pour over the set jelly, let it firm up a bit in the fridge and whisk double cream until its thick but spreadable and top off the trifle!
Finish with hundreds and thousands!
If you dont like custard this will honestly change your mind ln trifle! |

Trifle is foul! The way the jelly and custard is absorbed by the sponge is vom inducing 
My grandad used to insist on having trifle at Xmas, but with each component seperate. 'Deconstructed' puddings seem to be quite fashionable now....

Quite right, but sponge saturated with sherry/brandy/anything alcoholic really will stop this happening hic!

"I'm lost. Why shouldn't a man make a trifle?
Obviously some men do. This isn't supposed to be a sexist rant, more of a lighthearted thread.
Cupcakes anyone? "
Aha! I wasn't suggesting anything sexist, I just assumed there was a reference I wasn't getting. |

"Mine does a good stew a fry up but he is crap kitchen wise lol x"
You've got to train him properly then. Stews are easy to do, especially in a slow cooker.
Teach him to make a beef buffad with a trifle as desert innit sis

Sounds like your not proving it enough...also opening and closing oven doors can cause breads to collapse due to the rush of air when ya close the door..most likely proving issues tho |

Heat retention is key to a lot of things that involve yeast "
Are you implying that they prefer hot moist conditions? |
