How To Make oreo cakes and cupcakes - show stoppers!

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2
    Make your cake batter according to box mix directions (or your favorite recipe directions) *** I usually add cocoa powder to cake mixes to make them a darker chocolate.
  • 3
    Put batter into buttered and floured baking pan (9 x 13).
  • 4
    (12 x 22) sheet pan.
  • 5
    Paper cup lined muffin pan.
  • 6
    Bake at 350 degrees as directed on your cake mix box or according to your own recipe.
  • 7
    Completely cool cake, cupcake or muffin.
  • 8
    Make frosting by combining frosting ingredients and whipping them together. Add the milk a little at a time until you get the consistency you want. *** I have made this recipe with store bought frosting too.
  • 9
    Get your frosting and cookie crumbs ready while cake is baking. Cool completely. Cut cake into desired size you want to work with. (I like a 3 x 3 or a 4 x 4 piece of cake to work with. Frost the top and all four sides of each square of cake. *** If you FREEZE cake before frosting... it helps prevent cake from crumbling.
  • Cake with frosting and crushed Oreo cookie crumbs.
    10
    Sprinkle and press Oreo cookie crumbs on top and on all four sides of pieces of cake.
  • 11
    Put desired amount of Oreo cookie crumbs onto top of cupcake or muffin. Garnish with a whole or a half of a cookie. *** Optional: Make a little chocolate frosting to garnish cupcakes or muffins as in the photo. Just add some cocoa powder to already made frosting and a teaspoon or so of milk. *** OR... buy chocolate frosting.
