FILLING: Next, you should put aside 22 halves and then carefully press them in the icing rims. You'll then sprinkle kirsch over cake layers. Next, you'll add cherry juice, cornstarch, sugar and lemon juice into a small saucepan. Over medium heat, you should carefully whisk the ingredients together. Stir and then beat the cream into the mixing bowl until fairly thick. Next, you will add cocoa, sugar and vanilla. Beat until stiff.
