Well, I made the cookies and cream cupcake, just like I said I would that day. It took me the rest of the night, but I managed to do it. I searched the internet to find some ideas and found a few that put half the oreo on the bottom before the batter was put in.
Needless to say, I gave it a try. And the visual results were picture perfect.
So I bought a 1M tip specifically for decorating cupcakes, and I finally got the chance to do it with these. I made a standard vanilla buttercream frosting and added chopped oreos. Once that got mixed up, I put in in the bag and started to squeeze out the frosting... but had no luck. Some of the cookie chunks were too big to fit through the tip and wouldn't come out. I was frustrated, and eating way to much of the frosting. I pulled out my food processor and put all the frosting in there and pulsed it until the frosting was tinted blackish. And I tried again. There were still a few chunks, but I was able to work around them.
Then I topped it with half a cookie... and this is my masterpiece. I would change a few things though. I would put a whole cookie on bottom, do a white white cake, with more vanilla and more cookies in the batter. And I would definitely food process the cookies into fine crumbs before adding them to the buttercream.
I took them to work, and sadly brought none home to enjoy after work. But jokes on my coworkers....
I got to lick the bowl. HA.
I don't think there is anyone who doesn't like cookies and cakes and cupcakes. They look scrumptious!
