Cake Ideas for Holiday Party
I want to make something Christmas-y for a party, but I am signed up to bring a cake. I usually make a chocolate peppermint cake, but I kind of want to make something different. Different flavors, but still Christmas-y or Winter-y looking.
Last year, I made a peppermint mocha cake, thinking it would be different, and it was a little, since the filling was a coffee flavored chocolate instead of peppermint cream, but it was still pretty much the same. What are some other flavors that might look/feel Christmas-y? I want it to look nice, too.

I often turn cake into trifle around Christmas.
Black Forrest? Red Velvet? White cake with peppermint buttercream? |

Re: Cake Ideas for Holiday Party
What about an iced chocolate or red velvet cake with pirouette cookies edging the outside of the cake, then tied with a festive Christmas bow? Or tiramisu cake - I used to make this a lot for my boss who was a huge tiramisu fan and it got rave reviews.
Here is a link with some additional ideas. I think the chocolate-gingerbread-toffee cake and the cranberry obsession snow cake look great!
