I am planning on making the trifle but want to know how far ahead of time can you make it with the lime sherbet in it. Can you make this the night before, or do you assemble it right before you eat it?

Assemble it right before. The sherbet has to be REALLY soft, but you don't want it completely melted. If you make it more than a couple hours ahead, it completely melts and soaks all the way into the cake, making it soggy instead of just flavored. (Does that make sense? I know what I'm trying to say, but want to make sure that you do...
