Description
Vanilla Oreo® cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. These were a huge hit with the kids and tasted so good. They were so much better than using a packaged cake mix. The cream cheese frosting went really well with the Oreo®’s. As the birthday cake lady, this is now my go-to cream cheese frosting, and I will never buy a box cake mix again.
