Oreo Cupcakes
Since my last post I have moved home, moved up to school and have officially started my 4th and final year at Michigan State. So what do I decide to do on my second Saturday here? Drink and make cupcakes!
So I decided to make some delicious oreo cupcakes! With an oreo bottom, oreos in the batter, and oreo buttercream it really is a delicious, oreo-y experience. Seriously, the chocolate cupcake is as delicious as ever – light, fluffy, moist, and now crunchy with oreo chunks. The Oreo on the bottom adds a pleasant surprise and the buttercream is delectable.
These have the roommate seal of approval =)
