I don't have a big enough centrifuge myself...

Its obvious that the cherries on top would sink. But what other changes would one observe ?

If you think about it, the layers of trifle would rearrange themselves around the centrifuge in exactly the same order as they are already arranged vertically due to gravity. In other words, you,would get the sponge cakes around the outside, fruit and jelly further in, and the custard and cream topping in the middle.

If you could swing the dessert around at arbitrary speeds, eventually every single ingredient would separate into layers ordered by density. Butter, water, flour, etc., would all form different layers, with the most dense layer on the bottom and the least dense layer on the top. This assumes the dessert is placed in an infinitely strong bowl that will never break.

you'd probably get a very messy set of clothes and a dessert thats 2/3 times more delicious to eat off of your partner :D

You would get the average Sainsbury's trifle.

If it didn't have a lid on it, all you'd get is a mess.... and an empty bowl.
