Recipe: Oreo Cupcakes
I made these for my son’s 7th birthday party recently and everyone loved! They are fairly easy apart from the spiral icing which I hadn’t done before. I’m sure I will get better with practice!
Note: These are ‘may contain milk’ as they contain Mini Oreos which have a ‘may contain milk’ warning.

Oh brilliant – might try these for our upcoming party! I have tried and failed to pipe icing before, but the oreo cookies will probably hide my fail…
Do, I’ve never piped properly before, as you can see! The oreos make them popular no matter what they end up looking like :)
