Cool cakes in pans for 5 minutes; turn out on racks to cool
completely. SYRUP: Make syrup by mixing together sugar and water and
boiling for 5 minutes. When syrup has cooled, stir in kirsch. Prick
the cake layers and pour syrup over all 3 layers. FILLING: To make
the butter-cream filling, beat together sugar and butter until well
blended. Add egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5
minutes. Fold in Kirsch. CAKE ASSEMBLY: To assemble cake, place 1
layer on a cake plate.
Spread with butter cream filling. Using 3/4 cup of the cherries,
which have been patted dry, drop cherries evenly over cream. Place
second layer on cake. Repeat. Place third layer on top. Fold 2 T
confectioners sugar into the whipped cream. Cover the sides and top
of the cake with whipped cream.

To make chocolate curls from chocolate bar, shave (at room

to use. Press chocolate curls on sides of cake and sprinkle a few on
the top. Chill until serving time.
