we made 3 practice cakes and then we made 6 for our luau themed wedding. We wanted something different and the reviews were great. The took the six cakes and made 3 double layer cakes. We used have the butter and half the sugar for all of them and they were more than sweet enough. A little advice. While the cake is cooling brush a shot of rum onto the cake and then flip asap. If the brown sugar glaze cools while still in the pan it is disastrous. Another tip was used well drain crushed pine apple instead of rings. The rings get rubbery and can't compare. They are pretty for decoration, but you are better off using them sparingly with the cherries.
