I mean who doesn't like a good cupcake? I've been meaning to post this one for awhile now but I originally made these a couple of months ago for my dads birthday. This is actually my first time ever making cupcakes and of course being me I couldn't just make a plain jane ole cupcake, I had to try something fancy on my first attempt. My absolute favorite dessert combination is cookies n cream, so I figured why not make Oreo cupcakes! This recipe is super simple and doesn't require many ingredients.
Originally I didn't anticpate posting this recipe at all which is why there aren't any step-by-step pics this time. However once I started topping them with icing I just had to go grab my camera! Anywho, this is a super easy recipe, great for parties, entertaining or just indulging ;-) enjoy!
I was going for a Tiffany Blue for some of the cupcakes but they came out green lol.

Notes:
I didn't list it with the ingredients but you need to buy food coloring if you plan on making colored icing or batter. Also I used a box cake as a quick alternative method but of course if you prefer homemade batter you can make that instead.
