FILLING

FROSTING

Prepare angel food cake, cool. Slice horizontally into 4 equal layers. (I think a store bought one would work fine if you are in a pinch for time) Cream butter; gradually add 2 c. powdered sugar and milk, beating well. Stir in macaroons, pecans, bourbon, and brandy.

Spread filling between cake layers; refrigerate 1 hour. Beat whipping cream until foamy; gradually add 2 tbsp. powdered sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Spread frosting on top and sides of cake.

Sprinkle with coconut, and gently press into whipped cream frosting.

Garnish with cherries, if desired.
