    Heat heavy cream in a sauce pan over medium heat. Do not at any point allow it to start boiling.

  2. 2

    Bring out the cooled down cream and whip to desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Bring out a piping bag and fit it with the tip of your choice. Then paint four red lines on the insides of the bag using a tooth pick dipped in the red gel food coloring. Carefully spoon in half of the candy cane whipped cream. Pipe out as desired, and then repeat with a new piping bag for the other half of the whipped cream.
