With its pretty pink layer and fabulous mint flavor, this is a great holiday dessert. Because I work full-time, I like the fact that it calls for a convenient cake mix. —Lisa Varner, Charleston, South Carolina

I was a little skeptical at first about a peppermint cake. But it was quick and easy, and not chocolate, which I am allergic to, so I decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did! This was very easy to make, and oh so yummy! I crushed up candy canes instead of mints, and omg, I loved it! I will be making this again! It's really good!

I have made this a few times. I have used green instead of red and it looks fine both ways.

Made this for our ladies Christmas luncheon at church. They loved it, even though my top stuck some. That's what I get for not reading the reviews first. But I will definitely make it again, and grease and flour my pan more. If you use 20 pieces of peppermint Starlight candies the amount comes out perfect.

I tried to make this cake twice and both times it stuck to the bundt pan and was ruined - so I thought! Instead I made a Peppermint Trifle out of the two cakes! I broke up the cakes and alternated layers of cake and Cool Whip in a large clear bowl. It was an awesome Christmas treat. I'm making it again this year - It was a big hit!

My granddaughter made this cake and brought it to our house for Thanksgiving. Everyone enjoyed it a lot. It was not only good, but was very attractive.

This is so yummy! It was a huge hit at my boyfriend's family's house during Christmas time that they requested me to make it again next holiday. And since I told my coworkers about it, now they, too, are requesting me to make it simply just because it sounds good! Easy to make if you're not a baking-guru, or you need something simple and cute to the eye!

I made this for a Christmas potluck party. It was a HUGH success with requests for the recipe. The peppermint pieces in the "ribbon" won't stick to the pan if the candy is crushed to a powder. I used a sugarfreecake mix available in our grocery stores since many at the party were diabetics.

I made this for Christmas this year. I'm not a huge peppermint fan, but this is NOT overbearing at all. Presentation is great, and taste is great. This may become a regular at our Christmas meals now.
