Oreo Cookie and Cream CheeseCake Cupcakes [Recipe]

The most spectacular thing about these cupcakes, is how easy they are to make.  When I first looked at the pictures, I thought I would need to a degree in bakeology to pull this off, but it’s soooo not true.  These are actually easy-peasy.

Just a couple of watch outs:

• If you use liners that are too thick you won’t see the Oreo cookie imprint on the bottom.  They will still taste great but showing off the cookie is one of the great parts of this recipe.

• Be careful with the oven temperature and cooking time.  Watch it closely.

• The other thing that is not really a watch out, but some advice.  Make sure you chill these before you serve them.  Trust me, it will be worth the wait.

Sunflower Oreo Cookie Cupcakes

If you haven’t ventured into the cupcake decorating arena, this is the perfect recipe to do so.  It looks super hard, and is actually super easy.  The tips do all the work.

Let’s talk about the tips and the decorating – the rest is just a cupcake with half an Oreo on top.

The recipe calls for two specific tips:

#98 ruffle decorating tip
#30 closed star decorating tip

Don’t feel compelled to use these tips.  If you have a beginners kit and do not feel like buying more crap, then experiment with what you have.  The picture is just a guideline.  I have the Wilton 50 piece beginners kit and any standard petal tip and leaf tip will work.

The key here is to layer the flower petals so that each layers petals, go in between the petals that are below.

Lastly, either put these in the fridge right as you complete them or serve them up at once.  The frosting will droop if the cupcakes sit out too long.

Oreo Cookie and Cream Frosted Cupcakes!

I am determined to collect every recipe that involves Oreo cookies and cupcakes. This frosting is one of the best tasting frosting on the planet. You will be tempted to just eat spoonfuls of frosting, the hell with the cupcakes.
The frosting is simply a vanilla flavored frosting with just the right amount of Oreo cookies sprinkled in to make it look and taste like cookies and cream ice cream. The bigger the Oreo chunks the crunchier the cupcake. Have you ever had a crunch cupcake? Devine. For more delicious photos and the detailed recipe, hit the Recipe button and BAKE!

Homemade Hot Fudge Oreo Cookie Cupcakes [Recipe]

I stumbled onto this recipe while I was looking for cupcakes made specifically with Oreo’s.  It doesn’t get any better than this.  The best part isn’t the recipe but the website that I found the recipe on. It’s brilliant.   All of the photos are huge, colorful and clear.  The instructions are super easy to follow, and they even teach you how to make a homemade hot fudge and a homemade fudge dripper out of a plastic bag.  This recipe was an adventure.  My cupcakes didn’t come out for me like the picture, but it tasted how I imagine the picture would taste and in the world of cupcakes, taste is first, appearance is 2^nd.   Hit the Recipe Button, and BAKE!

Oreo Cookie & M&M Owl Cupcakes [Recipe]

These Owls made with Oreos are great. The recipe here is inconsequential, the brilliance comes from the decorating.  This is just hands down clever.  The trickiest thing is getting the Oreo’s to split with the cream filling solid on one side.  The author of the original recipe advices to microwave 5 cookies at a time for 3-5 seconds and then using a frosting spatula.  The good part is, if you don’t split the cookie right, you can just eat it and try again.  If you are having too much trouble, then call your 5 year old, I’m sure he or she can do it perfect every time.  Enjoy this!
