For the frosting:
1. In a medium bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and mix until becomes thick.
2. In separate bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar until become creamy
3. Stir together until well combined
Assembling the cake:
1. Place the first layer on your cake stand, generously brush the first cake layer with cherry rum syrup. Put frosting
on top of the first layer and spread it as even as possible with an offset spatula, evenly place chopped cherries
on top of the frosting
2. Repeat this process for each layer of cake but don’t put cherries over the final layer
3. Refrigerate your unfrosted cake for 10-15 min to let it rest, then frost the top and sides.
For the garnish:
1. Make a quick chocolate ganache by putting the chopped chocolate in a small bowl and heating the cream to a
simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and whisk gently until the chocolate melts and you have
a smooth, shiny mixture.
2. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, add the fresh cherries and chocolate curls on top of the cake.
Refrigerate to set the ganache.
