Mint Condition

A little red this time of year goes a long way. Make it go even farther with a peppermint corner. Frost a cake with white icing, festoon it with a sparkly flower, and wrap it just so with a red ribbon. Next, make a grove of ribbon trees and decorate a batch of cupcakes with crushed peppermint sticks. (You can put them in candy-striped cups, too!) To make sure guests pause to appreciate your handiwork, clear some space for ruby-red wassail!
