  parchment; grease paper. Divide marshmallows among pans.
  
  In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar and baking soda. In
  a small saucepan, combine butter, cola and cocoa; bring
  just to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add to flour
  mixture, stirring just until moistened.
  
  In a small bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk and vanilla
  until blended; add to flour mixture, whisking

  For frosting, in a small bowl, beat butter and
  confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in marshmallow
  creme and juice concentrate on low speed just until
  combined; increase to high and beat until smooth.
  
  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread top with 1
  cup frosting. Repeat with second layer. Top with
  remaining cake layer; spread with remaining frosting.
  Decorate with cherries.
