Drain the cherries well. Grease a ring cake tin (approx. 2.5 l capacity) and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Wash the lemons, dab dry and grate the peel. Squeeze the lemons, measure 8 tbsp. juice.
Cream fat, sugar, vanilla sugar and 1 pinch of salt with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in 5 eggs one by one. Mix 350 g flour and baking powder. Stir in briefly with lemon juice and zest.
Turn the cherries in 1 tbsp. flour and fold into the dough. Pour into the form and bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: level 2) for 50-60 minutes. Let the cake cool down in the mould for about 15 minutes, then turn it over and let it cool down completely.
Mix the egg whites and icing sugar with the whisks of the hand mixer until smooth. Take off 1 teaspoon and colour pink with the food colouring. Cover the buffer with the white icing. Press the love beads as a garland all around the icing.
Pour the pink icing into a freezer bag and cut off a small corner. Spray a small bow on the cake. Let it dry.
