Cookies and cream birthday cupcakes…What could be more fun?! Rich chocolate cake with an Oreo baked right in.  Topped with creamy Oreo cookie buttercream, cookie crumbles, and a mini Oreo cookie on top (these things are just TOO cute!).  Easy to take to school as a treat with individual, personalized packaging.  What better way to say “Happy Birthday!” ?

My most popular cake to date…who knew?   When I created this design back in February, I had no idea it would become such a huge hit!  Since then, I’ve revised the figures a bit and replaced the fondant top with buttercream, but essentially it’s the same double-chocolate 3-layer cake (or pick your favorite flavor) covered with creamy chocolate buttercream and crushed Oreo cookies. The Minecraft figures on top are made from homemade fondant; the “Minecraft” sign and pick ax are perler beads.

For all of you Minecraft-crazed youth out there….”The Creepers are HERE!  But BEWARE.. HEROBRINE is coming!” (keep watching for version 2.1 ;0).

My kids are in the midst of a Minecraft craze (Minecraft is a game on the computer), so I created this cake for a Cub Scout fundraiser.

The cake is a 3-layer 8″ square cake (vanilla and chocolate) covered with chocolate buttercream and crushed Oreo cookies (to look like dirt).  I put a layer of green fondant on top and piped green grass with a grass tip.

The figures are crafted from colored fondant (with the help of my kids) and the name plate is made from pearler beads.   The cake was a HUGE hit with all of the elementary-aged boys and eventually sold for $120 at the event!  If your kid hasn’t discover Minecraft yet, just you wait!
