This cake was amazing...everyone loved it and wanted seconds! I used Creme de menthe as stated and it was just the right amount of mint. I didn't add the cherries, but we definetely didn't miss them. Instead of chocolate flakes on the top we crumbled up some Thin Mints. I will definetely make this cake again.
