I like the idea of whipping cream instead of the over powering sugary taste of the frostings (sorry but it had to be said). I was wondering if maybe using fresh cherries or maybe even bottled cherries would be tastier than the pie filling? I find pie fillings are also over powering with the sugar. I must say the picture of the cake looks delicious though, :)
