Cha Cha Cherry

10 years ago I had a cake at my friend's grandmother's house. Her grandmother had made a cherry cake with a candied frosting. Cha Cha Cherry is my take on her unforgettable desert. It is a yellow buttermilk cake (which is my favorite) with chopped maraschino cherries mixed in. I used a traditional buttercream with cherry extract and grenadine to get that lovely candied flavor. And it wouldn't have been complete without the cherry on top. I made those liners myself...I like that they have a rustic feel to them...tacky chic.
