This is a great recipe. I do not have praline liquor, so I always substitute brandy. I have discovered that without the brandy, a lot of flavor is missing. The brandy maximizes the flavor of the berries, whipped cream, and custard in my opinion. I would recommend starting with just a little brandy on top of the pound cake, as the cake got soggy for me the next day (and that was when I did not even put a lot of brandy on). This is a great crowd pleaser, but I would be hesitant about making it a day ahead - you might have a watery, gooey, mess. I will say that if you put it in the refrigerator for four to six hours after you are done assembling it, it looks and tastes divine (that is the best time to serve it for sure). This is one of my favorite desserts to serve at parties! It is a huge crowd pleaser (and it serves a TON of people too, so that's even better. ;) less work for me!).
