6. Mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Separate 1 cup of this tres leches mixture (discard or reserve in the refrigerator for another use) and gradually pour the rest over the cake until absorbed.
7. Separately, beat the rest of the whipping cream until it reaches the consistency of whipped cream. Cover the cake with it and decorate with the cherries.
