    Question? What do think about Cherry Sours on top,with flatten green gumdrops for leaves,or do you think that would take away from the cake? Daughter loves Cherry SOurs,candy.Thank-you

    Oh My! Henri this one sounds terrific! I love almond and cherry together. Three cups of butter?!!! Wow! I will have to serve this to my skinny sister and only mention the butter issue after she eats it! HA! Thanks for the post. A 5 for sure.
