Is there anything better than an O-R-E-O? In my world…it is the most decadent dessert on the planet. I love anything cookies and cream flavored; easter eggs, blizzards from the Dairy Queen, cupcakes, and of course frosting! I was elated to learn that my 5-year-old agrees. This was her request for her preschool graduation cake, so I happily obliged her.
Any good Oreo frosting recipe starts of course with Oreos. Double stuff of course.
And if you want to get creative for your little ones…you can always add an edible photo on top!
For this cake, I used my favorite yellow cake recipe from Taste of Home. My daughter wanted plain cake, but you can easily add some crushed Oreos to the batter. Then frost!

Looks AMAZING! I never buy Oreos or think of them as something I like, but every time I have one I think, “OMG THESE ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER.” I had Oreo Cake Balls the other day and they were insane. This cake looks delicious.

This is so awesome. I love the idea of Oreos in the frosting and pinned to try.

Thanks for the, Kristen, but, you do know how dangerous it is to provide a recipe such as this one to a person like me who likens a pile of Oreos and a full glass of almond milk akin to heaven on earth, don’t you?
I mean, seriously. This post should come with a disclaimer that you’ll send someone to my home in the dead of night to pry this out of my hands when my sweet tooth gets the best of me. :-/

I do them seldom for that reason Courtney!

I’ve made my own little variation of Oreo cake / frosting. I love Oreos & there is nothing in the world better! I’m stopping by from SITS & I hope you & the fam are having a great weekend.
