or until cake springs back when touched.
Cool cake layers, then slice each layer into 2 layers using serrated knife.
Sprinkle each layer with some of kirschwasser.
Put one layer on serving platter. Using a large pastry bag fitted with a
large star tip, pipe circle of cream around circumference of cake layer.
Make circle of cherry filling inside circle of cream. Continue alternating
circles until layer is covered. Top with remaining cake layers, covering
