Christmas cake that erupts with whipped cream?! The latest from Charles Phoenix's Test Kitchen

This year marks Take Two's third Christmas, and the show does have some traditions in place when it comes to the holidays. 

One favorite is checking out the amazing culinary creations that come from the man who puts the kitsch back in kitchen, Charles Phoenix.

It all began with the Christmas Cherpumple, followed by the Crazy Candy Cane Cake.

Coming out of the Test Kitchen this year: Christmas Candy Volcano Cake. [Check out the how-to video here!]
