Served this to friends and they all asked for the recipe. Wouldn't change a thing, but 12 servings? I found it to be 8 sufficient, but modest, servings.

Made this for a family gathering and there was nothing left!! Used marizpan instead of the almond paste as husband likes the sweetness of marizpan. I could had more cherries on top for me! Excellent and so easy. A definite repeat.

I liked the fact that this wasn't laden with suger and will make it again. It was simple and I didn't make any changes except forgot the powered sugar on top. Might try w/blueberries or apples next time.
