Early Cherry

In order to get the cherry early, and save at least 40 seconds of backtracking time, you want to roll over the chocolate ramp and jump just as you start tilting left of upright.

Once you're there, you need to press Jump, and you should keep rolling over in midair. If you hold left and mash the Reset button to flip back over, you might get just enough height to barely touch the cherry, removing the need to come all the way back over once you get the top lollipop. 

Optimal strats without the cherry skip are about 40 seconds slower.
