Adding powdered sugar and vanilla along with heavy cream until whipped smooth.

Portion out about 3/4 frosting and mix in 24 maraschino cherries along with 3 tablespoons cherry juice for the cherry filling layer.

Add the melted chocolate to another 3/4 cup of frosting and spread that over the next layer of cake.

Top with remaining frosting.

Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top of the cake/
