Peppermint fans will love unwrapping this holiday cake. To make the supersize mint, Food Network Magazine put candy cane filling between chocolate cake layers, then covered the whole thing with white and red roll-out frosting (peppermint-flavored, of course). To complete the look, the team wrapped the faux candy in cellophane.

Roll out the red frosting until 1/4 inch thick. Cut a 7-by-1 3/4-inch wavy stripe with a pointed tip out of paper (or print out the free template). Using the template, cut out 7 red stripes of frosting.
