    You could also make a bread and butter pudding using cake instead of bread, I think that would be quite nice.

    Trifle doesn't have jelly in it, not proper trifle at any rate.

    Cake, alcohol(optional), fruit, custard, cream. No jelly :)

    Hi Madmonk,

    There are more ideas on this earlier thread:

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

    Fritters. Simply slice, dip in batter and deep fry. You can coat one, or both, sides with jam if you like.

    You can make bread pudding with stale cake substituted for some of the bread.
