Hi everyone, I'm baking a black forest cake for a birthday, and I was hoping for some input - specifically with regards to the cherries. I'm doing it the "traditional" way, i.e. soaking fresh cherries in kirschwasser overnight. Problem being, the party date was changed. The cherries will have been drowned in the kirsch for 4 days by the time we eat them... I just tried a piece of one and it's fairly strong, but not sweet at all and doesn't taste much like a cherry anymore.
Should I just eat these and buy another bag of them to soak overnight? Or will the rest of the ingredients balance this out? Thanks for any tips!
