devil's food cupcakes turned fancy

One quick, easy and beautiful way to make devil's food cupcakes more fancy is with some cherries and whipped cream. For me the basic devil's food cake is coved in a chocolate glaze so of course, these ones are too. The following steps go on top of the glaze.
In a saucepan, combine a cup of pitted and halved cherries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Also ad a tablespoon of water, but if you prefer, feel free to replace that with kirsch. Let that simmer until the sugar is dissolved and the cherries are soft, 6-7 minutes. Then transfer to another bowl and let cool in the fridge for at least an hour.
While the cherries sit, in either a food processor or with a whisk, beat one cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of confectioner's sugar until heavy peaks are formed.
After the cherries chill, mix them with the whipped cream. Be care full during this process. You might want to limit the amount of the juice that gets into the whipped cream because you don't want it to loose its stiffness.
Spoon some of the cream on the cupcakes, then place a whole cherry - pit, stem and all - on top of the whipped cream.
I made these cupcakes for a block party and never got the chance to taste them so please leave a comment if you make them and tell me how delicious they are.
