When I first read this Chocolate Therapy blog post about Oreo cupcakes, I was itching to make them. And I didn’t wait too long. I made them for a co-worker’s final day last week, and they get my seal of approval.
A warning: It made 36 cupcakes for me and I filled most of my wrappers about 3/4 full instead of just 1/2 full. Because of that, I made a second batch of icing late at night, which pushed my baking well beyond midnight. So I recommend either making an extra half-batch of icing in the first place or having a backup plan for finishing off some of your last cupcakes.
The icing method is different from what I’ve made before. It is a bit time-consuming. (Be sure to do the first milk/flour step before you make the cupcakes so it has time to cool.) But it is pretty amazing. I’m going to say it’s worth the time.
Also, because it made 36 cupcakes, I used an entire package of Oreos. (This was disappointing because I was hoping to eat the leftovers.)
I finally bought proper cupcake decorating tips, so I used a 1M tip on a decorating bag for the icing. (For most of the cupcakes, I used the 1M swirl directions from Wilton.) And I topped them off with mini Oreos.
