Thaw the puff pastry. Divide the dough into thirds. Roll out each piece thinly on a floured surface. Using the springform pan, cut out three circles. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Prick several times with a fork and bake in the oven at 175°C for 15 to 18 minutes each. Let it cool. Drain the sour cherries, reserving the juice. Boil 1/8 l of the juice. Whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water, stir in, and bring to a boil. Add the cherries and bring to a boil again. Let it cool. Melt the jelly and spread it on two layers. Mix the powdered sugar with about 5 teaspoons of cherry juice and spread it on the third layer. Whisk the cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Fill a piping bag with 1/3 of the cream with a perforated nozzle. Pipe cream circles onto the bottom jelly layer. Fill the spaces between the layers with compote. Place the second jelly layer on top and spread with 1/3 of the cream. Cover with the glazed layer. Garnish with cream rosettes and sour cherries.
