Texasgirl, I'm not sure what you are wanting, but here are a few Christmas type recipes I have in my recipe book.
Christmas Angel Food Cake
1 large angel food cake
1/2 gallon strawberry ice cream, softened (The pink peppermint ice cream would be good too)
1 large cool whip
green food coloring
Bake an angel food cake or buy one already made in the store. Place cake upside down; slice off entire top of cake about 1 inch down and set aside. Make cuts down into cake 1 inch from outer ege and 1 inch from edge of hold, leaving substantial "walls" on each side. With a curved knofe or spoon, remove cake within cuts, being careful to leave a base of cake 1 inch thick. (You have just made well, hollowing out inside of cake leaving a 1 inch wall.)
Fill well with softened ice cream. Replace top of cake and press gently. Turn cake right side up and place on serving platter.
Tint cool whip with enough green food coloring to get shade of green you want. Hint: Do not use too much food coloring if you don't want green teeth.
Ice cake with cool whip and place in freezer. To serve le44t cake stand about 5 minutes before slicing to make slicing easier.
Can be made as much as 2 weeks ahead of time.
