my sister gave me a square cupcake pan for christmas...so i used it to melt peppermint candies in. i placed the peppermint candy squares on brownies. they turned out so pretty!... i'll let you in on my secret...i went the easy route as far as the 'cake balls' went. they're not cake balls, but doughnut holes dipped in chocolate! they caught my eye in the grocery store....and they worked out great!
i wanted to make a banner out of candy canes...so i came up with this. i love how it turned out!...

i wrapped my cake in peppermint sticks {and added red ribbon for a special touch}...
i dipped the tops of my glasses in karo syrup and then rolled them in crushed peppermint candy. i added cute peppermint ribbon to the bottoms {ribbon found at target a few months ago}. you can also see the peppermint shot glasses i found at target...

i wanted to use actual 'cones' instead of paper for the treat cones, but didn't like the brown color with everything...so i decided to dip them in chocolate! they were SO yummy!...
i dipped the peppermint sticks in chocolate as well :)...
although carnations are pretty spendy this time of year, they were well worth it. i loved the way they looked with everything...

WOW. Absolutely stunning!
Looks gorgeous! Very "Amy Atlas," which is a huge compliment, I think. Fun decorating theme, too!
I love it! I love the idea of using real cones. And the doughnut holes is pure genius. You better believe that I will use this idea since baking is not one of my strong points.
I"m so glad you did a peppermint party this year, that's the theme we're doing next year for our cocoa party. i've already been collecting ideas and yours are all FAB-U-LOUS!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!
what a fantastic job! Very pretty! Love the banner and all of the candy cane accents!
Kara!! Soo beautiful! I absolutely love the melted peppermints on the brownies and the candy cane banner!! Well done!!
Love it! the brownies look awesome, and I bet they were tasty. Donut holes: time-saving genius! Thanks for sharing!
So festive and fun! I'm going to have to steal a few of your ideas for our Christmas party next year...or else you could just come to Seattle and do it for me! You are very creative and I always love seeing what you come up with! Thanks! And Happy New Year! Nan...Max's Gramma
