I've literally have been fantasizing about a cake i want to make for Christmas since fucking August.

Here's what i plan to do:
>standard white cake recipe
>but take half of it and color it red and put peppermint oil in it, and make a marble cake.
>Same deal with the frosting
>the base layer will be white
>but for the decor, I'll use the double bag method, and plant little stars, if you will around the top and bottom of the cake.

Feedback?

You plan on making it shaped and striped like a candy cane? With the marbling and stars it made it sound more like a mint thing in general, rather than a candy cane specifically. If it looked terrible last time, have you considered doing 2 different cake layers, one each color?
