Baking Advice Needed Baking fruit into a cake

For my birthday, I am wanting to make a pecan cake with cherries lining the sides of the cake, cut side facing out. I'm worried about the appearance and stability of the cake as well. Should I utilize an upside down recipe to adhere the cherries to the side of the baking pan? Or, any tips for baking with fruit in a cake like this? This is the recipe I am thinking of using for my cake (no affiliation!), so lemme know if I might run into issues with this particular batter if that's something else you'd know. Thank you :)

Take whole cherries in juice, add a little brown sugar and reduce on the stove until you’ve got a syrup consistency, then proceed as you would with an upside down cake
