Chocolate Peppermint Holiday Cake

It’s the ideal addition to any Holiday dessert spread! This cake starts with a four-layer chocolate cake filled with peppermint buttercream filling infused with peppermint candy pieces. It’s frosted with a mix of chocolate cream cheese and vanilla buttercream frostings to give it a soft, brown color. It’s then decorated with white and red piping, and a fondant gingerbread man adorns the top of the cake!

If you’ve spent any time watching Food Network over the past decade, then you know Duff Goldman and his legendary cakes. The fun-loving chef welcomed viewers into his innovative Baltimore cake shop, Charm City Cakes, for 10 seasons on the hit “Ace of Cakes,” where he and his team created spectacular custom cakes for everyone from Harry Potter to NASA. When he opened his bakery, he made the fateful decision to invite local artists to join his team, and his cake shops in Baltimore and Los Angeles function as both traditional bakeries and creative studios.
